lyrics

empty of all sense, in need of recompense
I took the train and climbed the stair
watched the show and saw you there
I needed more, it was plain to see
you gave all that you had to me
right on time
right on time
and though I was much less than fine
you made me yours and I made you mine
right on time

I still seem to find the gloom in every afternoon
but when I pull my brain back in my head
tell myself, “quit actin dead,”
and when I’m mostly lackin will
the way appears all clear and still
right on time
right on time
I take the blame, the fault is mine
but there’s cool air blowin all through the pines
right on time

there’s no leavin you can do
til your body’s rid of you
until we reach the lonely end
we must ceaselessly begin
and a wave that can rise no more
must break upon the waiting shore
right on time
right on time
when you look back through the years in rhyme
didn’t you sign in blood on that crooked line?
right on time

my soul don’t stroll it roves about
like it’s trying to get out
it’s hard to learn to fall
when you’ve got a name to call
I could be a better man
but you might have to lend a hand
make it right on time
right on time
though the heart must suffer a lonely mind
I’d be lost in it all if you weren’t so kind
and always right on time

I shouldn’t be so grim
my mood just needs a trim
run your fingers through my hair
I’ll part with all that I can bare
and everything I’ve learned to give
is all the more I’ve learned to live
always right on time
right on time
though the empty meet with the sublime
days and nights full of struggle leave
fruit on the vine
right on time
