Just When I Needed You Most
Patrick Cannell © 2025
Just when the leaves had all fallen and covered the path,
I was convinced that the autumn had had the last laugh.
How did you time it so well? literally saved by the bell.
You had to rescue me just when I needed you most.
Just when I thought that the balance was going awry,
Sure that the time on my ledger had all but passed by.
How did you know where to look? You found me hung on a hook.
You had to rescue me just when I needed you most.
I was a long lost cause and all because
Spite had its way that day, that fateful day.
How did you know where to search? You found me knocked off a perch.
You had to rescue me just when I needed you most.
Just when I thought that my case was beyond all reprieve,
You had a word with the judge and he granted me leave.
How did you time it so well? literally saved by the bell.
You had to rescue me just when I needed you most.
I was a long lost cause and all because
Spite had its way that day, that fateful day.
That fateful day. That fateful day.
