Right On Time Lyrics - Jaggedland - Marshall Crenshaw

I had a strange dream one time 

There was you, Bobby Vinton and me 

In a hotel ballroom full of marble and mahogany 

Somebody shouted, "Let the joy begin" 

Everyone and everything was rocking there and then 

But there were holes in the ballroom floor 

Leading straight into the blue sky 

Where the planes fly 

I took a wrong step and just like that 

I was falling downward in a tailspin 

I woke up then and just in time 

I see a beautiful bluebird on my window sill 

And a one eyed black cat moving in for the kill 

And then I see you pull up in the drive 

That's enough to make me more than glad to be alive 

You're always there when you say you'll be 

And I know I always will remember last December 

For some reason or for a few 

Through a dark void I was crawling 

When you came calling, and right on time 

You came along right on time 

Lonesome was my middle name 

And then right on time 

You came and changed the game 

You wrapped your sweet love around me 

And put my feet back on the ground 

You talked me down, brought me around 

Right on time 

When I thought that the end was near 

Thought I faced the final curtain 

Of which I'm certain 

That was when you came walking in 

And changed the atmosphere with your smile 

Saved my heart from the junkpile 

And right on time
