Ian Anderson - The Jasmine Corridor lyrics

rate me

In all my lives, I never knew anyone like you before

Woke up one day, swore I heard the sound of heaven knocking on my door

And after all these years long passing,

Time to reflect, no time for wasting

Walking down the jasmine corridor

Reflecting echoes of quiet laughter

In all my life, I was never better served than I was served by you

And in my way, hope you agree I tried to serve you too

Out on the headland I stepped once unsteady

You there to catch me, I breathe more freely

Hand in mine down the jasmine corridor

Through all my life, I chased flitting illusions at a faster pace

Never stopped to think the moment was for seizing

Had myself to face

You made my bed to lie in, stately

Mad cats, grandchildren, here more often lately

The final view from the jasmine corridor<br />

<br />
