Martyn, John - Just Now Lyrics






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 now 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

    How sad to see John’s glorious music earn so few views. Oh well, it’s a lovely “secret” to have but I think it’s a shame, people don’t realise what they’re missing.

    Never be afraid to cry. This song has so many bitter-sweet memories for me. John was with us in the best of times - there's no magic in music nowadays.

    always has done the same or me. another 63 yr old. been kind of an anthem for me since that time.

    I have listened to him for 30 years, brilliant. listen to Solid Air title song about Nick Drake.

    J.... G....

    You've been taking your time
    And you've been living on solid air
    You've been walking the line
    And you've been living on solid air
    Don't know what's going 'round inside
    And I can tell you that it's hard to hide
    When you're living on solid air
    And you've been painting the blues
    And you've been looking through solid air
    You've been seeing it through
    And you've been looking through solid air
    Don't know what's going 'round in your mind
    And I can tell you don't like what you find
    When you're moving through solid air, solid air
    I know you, I love you
    And I can be your friend
    I can follow you anywhere
    Even through solid air
    You've been stoning it cold
    You've been living on solid air
    You've been finding it cold
    You've been living on solid air
    I don't know what's going on inside
    I can tell you that it's hard to hide
    When you're living on solid air, solid air
    You've been getting too deep
    You've been living on solid air
    You've been missing your sleep
    you've been moving through solid air
    I don't know what's going on in your mind
    But I know you don't like what you find
    When you're moving through solid air, solid air
    I know you, I love you
    I will be your friend
    I will follow you anywhere
    Even through solid air
    You've been walking your line
    You've been walking on solid air
    You've been taking your time
    'Cause you've been walking on solid air
    Don't know what's going on inside
    But I can tell you that it's hard to hide
    When you're living on solid air, solid air
    You've been painting the blues
    You've been living on solid air
    And you've been seeing it through
    And you've been looking through solid air
    I don't know what's going in your mind
    But I can tell you don't like what you find
    When you're living through solid air, solid air
    I know you, I love you
    And I can be your friend
    I can follow you anywhere
    Even through solid air
    Icy blue solid air
    Blue solid air

    please check out Isaac Guillory, he came to Britain supporting Al Stewart at the Cambridge Folk fest. In my opinion he made the Takemini famous, he played with John Renbourne amongst others, unfortunate lost him in 2000 new years eve. You wont regret it!
