Just about the time I’d grown accustomed to your ways
Just about the time my pillow starts to memorize your face
Just about the time I’m grooving on you every single day
You’re gone, and we start all over again

Just about the time your photograph don’t make me cry no more
Just about the time I quit feeling high and dry
Just about the time I’m used to you not being round no more
You show up and we start all over again

Hey, you make me king for a day
Hey, and then you take it away
And there’s nothing I can say

Just about the time it’s beautiful with us you disappear
Just about the time I think you’re gone you’re in my rear view mirror
Just about the time I think I’m in control you start to steer
And we start all over again

Hey, you make me king for a day
Hey, and then you take it away
And there’s nothing I can say

Just about the time
Just about the time
Just about the time
Just about the time

(lyrics: Dan Bern)
