Píseň: Up Er Mei

Interpret:
James Taylor
Album:
Hourglass
We were walking in paradise 
Never did notice
Blind in the Buddha land 
Looking for solace
We had been told of a place 
Far beyond this vale of tears 
We could never have guessed 
We were already blessed 
There we were, where we are 
In the garden


Didn't we climb on up er mei 
Temple to temple
Yes and all and all along the way 
The day was simple
Didn't we reach the top 
Didn't we gain our goal 
Did we finally stop 
Surprised by the cold


We were walking in paradise 
Never did tumble
Blind in the Buddha land 
Looking for trouble
We had been told of a place 
Far beyond this vale of tears 
We could never have guessed 
We were already blessed 
There we were, where we are 
In the garden
