Just In Time
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I was resting comfortably, face down in the gutter
Life was serene, I knew where I was at
There's no hope for him, my dearest friends would mutter
I was something dragged in by the cat. Then
Just in time, I found you just in time
Before you came my time was running low
I was lost, the losing dice were tossed
My bridges all were crossed, nowhere to go
Now you're here and now I know just where I'm going
No more doubt or fear, I found my way
For love came just in time, you found me just in time
And changed my lonely life that lovely day
