Jump Up Behind Me Lyrics - James Taylor

Notes: 

Jt on sony.com: lilly was not at all sure we could just "set ol' dan free" like that. I told her dan was a huge invisible rat with magical powers. that seems to have shut her up. 

This land is a lovely green 

It reminds me of my own home 

Such children I've seldom seen 

Even in my own home 

The sky so bright and clean 

Just like my home 

Kind people as have ever been 

Won't you take me back to my own home 

Chorus: 

Jump up behind me my love 

Jump up behind me 

Old dan can bear us both 

Jump up behind me 

We follow this road 'til we reach the sea 

Jump up behind me 

We'll catch the tide and set dan free 

Jump up behind me 

I've been in this world awhile 

And I've seen a lot of country 

Many days and many miles 

All various and sundry 

I've had my way and I've had my fun 

And I've had my chance to run free 

Burning hot beneath the sun 

Freezing cold and wintry 

Repeat chorus 

I know now 

Only one thing matters in these days 

One thing, true love 

Love and love alone 

True love 

I came out of a dream last night 

Thought I was back in my old home 

Mom and dad were both still alive 

And the babies not yet born, no 

Felt like a festival 

Felt like a christmas morning 

Felt the darkness fall away 

Even as the world was turning
