I have Contacted Hal Leonard Publishing about releasing a book of the complete Lyrics Of Rod Mckuen maybe if more of Rod's fans could please contact them we could get this book published?
imacrashman2-Your comments are so true. I grew up reading and listening to this man. Rod McKuen has influenced me so much and I'm very grateful that we have had him in our lives.
McKuen is a genius. Not only in the lyrics he writes but the arrangements of his songs. There is so much to listen to in one of his recordings. He also possesses a quality in his voice that makes listener feel the lyrics deeply.
Love this song! have always loved this man's voice and his words have been in my mind for years. I used to own all his books, but they got lost over the years. Wish I could find a man like this. I would love him with all I had to give. Thanks so much for posting this.
@LadyAvis I've loved this song since first hearing in the 60's, but the lyrics tell us he was a wildman in the past, is presently living a lie in a relationship doomed for failure for he'll return to wild ways someday, he'll leave ya! correct?
@cliffworks4321 He loves her, but he knows that something will call him, and he'll go. Had it happen more than once [with girls, not guys]. Most relationships fail; it just depends on which one is blind, and gets left [and hurt].
@jonbocz my comments were meant for those who think the song is a happy one about happier, gentler days of yesteryear which it is not at all; the lyrics suggest something or some trait in his past will come calling and he'll have to go, but Rod doesn't reveal exactly what that would be; he wrote to me about a year ago and confirmed my understanding is correct, if my memory serves me he wrote the song originally had a different title.
Anyone know where a version of "One Day Soon" is? I'd love to see that posted. I can't find it anywhere and gave my only copy of it away ... *sniffle*
No matter what song this man sings I could listen over and over, Brilliant

Better than Glenn Yarbrough's version. Almost as good as Jimmie Rodgers' version.

I like this song very much.
And I've been looking for this version for a long time.
The old familiar song in my university days.
