Jump Baby Jump - Pentangle

Jump baby jump

Spread your wings out and float away

Why no-one has managed to fly before

To swoop like an eagle

To glide and to soar o’re the waves

But beware now of falling babe

Come follow to ship babe

Come follow the dreamer’s wake

Circle round the high mast

Fly over the bow then rise to the sun babe

No-One will catch you not now

But beware now of falling babe

Try holding your breath gal

Try fishing the waters deep

Catch the silvery shark and slippery eel

All there to choose from

Alle there to catch and to steal

But beware now of drowning babe

Now you’re seven hundred feet up Looking down on the rolling sea

Down below seagulls float on the warm sunny air

Wves break and scatter all over

But don’t go nowhere

Beware now of falling babe
