Come Back Jim Lyrics
You showed me how to make it
You showed me everything
You showed me now you say
that you're goin
Goin to leave
Goin to leave
You showed me all these people
You showed me all the way
Showed me and now
you say you're goin
goin away
goin away
For you I love the music
For you I love the sea
For you I love it all
Please don't leave
Please don't leave me
Oh please don't leave me now
You brought me here from Kansas
I hurted in my seats
Yes I guess I can get back but I can't
I can't get back
Oh I can't get back
They say you're goin crazy
They say you're goin mad
They say you're givin up all things
Givin up your bad things
Givin up all things
That you ever had
And I want you though you're mad
Now I'll always have to have you
Only willow winds
I will always lean
I'll say
Come back Jim
Come back Jim
I'll say
Come back Jim
I'll say come back Jim
I'll say come back Jim
I'll say come back Jim
You showed me everything
You showed me now you say
that you're goin
You showed me all the way
Showed me and now
you say you're goin
For you I love the sea
For you I love it all
Please don't leave
Please don't leave me
I hurted in my seats
Yes I guess I can get back but I can't
I can't get back
They say you're goin mad
They say you're givin up all things
Givin up your bad things
Givin up all things
That you ever had
Only willow winds
I will always lean
I'll say
Come back Jim
Come back Jim
Come back Jim
I'll say come back Jim
I'll say come back Jim

It seems obvious to me that the names Jim, Jack and Johnny in the songs are pseudonyms for Jeffrey.
@buriedinmyskin I think this makes a lot of sense. Jeffrey the man talking to Jeffrey the artist in a schizophrenic manner. I completetly agree with that.

Hey ! I happened to find at least two - rather different - versions for this lyrics. So any correction will be truly welcomed.

So then, who is this particular Jim ? Anyone ?

Probably for what this song is saying, it was dedicated to Jim Morrison.
