John Martyn
"Just Now"


Searching back through the friends I've known,
Sometimes sad for the way it's grown.
Ranging up and ranging out
And trying to change my ways about.
There's a place in the leaf, a place in the bow.
I've found a place for me,
Just now, just now,
Just now.

Moving on with every word,
Moving with all the words I heard.
Turning the wheel as fast as I can,
Turning the wheel to make me a man.
There's a man in the moon, a man in the sea,
Growing strong, there's a man in me,
Just now just now,
Just now.

No behind and no before;
There's no need to worry any more.
Happy then, happy now,
There's always a way to get happy somehow.
Friend on the road, friend in the home;
A better friend than I've ever known,
Just now, just now,
Just now...

Searching back for the friends I've known,
Sometimes sad for the way it's grown.
Changing up and ranging out,
And trying to change my ways about.
There's a place in the leaf, a place in the bow;
I've found a place for me,
Just now, just now,
Just now, just now...
