Black Throated Wind lyrics
Song information
Artist: Grateful Dead Album: Steal Your Face
Lyrics
You're bringing me down, I'm running aground Blind in the lights of the interstate cars Passing me by, the busses and the semis Plunging like stones from a slingshot from mars
But I'm here on the road, bound to the load That I picked up in ten thousand cafes and bars Alone with the rush of the drivers that won't pick me up The highway, the moon, and clouds and the stars
Black throated wind, keeps on pourin' in With it's words of a life where nothing is new Ah, mother american night, I pass from the light Ah, I'm drownin' in you
I left st. louie, city of blues In the midst of a storm I'd rather forget I tried to pretend it came to an end Cause you weren't the women I once thought I'd met
But I can't deny, times have gone by Well I never had doubts or thoughts of regret And I was a man when all this began Who wouldn't think twice about being there yet
Black throated wind, whisper in sin And speaking on life that passes like dew It's forced me to see you've done better by me Better by me that I've done by you
Now what's to be found by racing around You carry your pain wherever you go Full of blues, and tryin' to lose You ain't gonna learn what you don't wanna know
So I give you my eyes and all of their lies Please help them to learn as well as to see Capture a glance, and make it dance But looking at you is looking at me
Black throated wind, keeps on pourin' in With it's words of a life that could almost be true Ah, mother american night, here comes a light I'm turning around, that's what I'm gonna do
Going back home that's what I'm gonna do I'm turning around, that's what I'm gonna do Going back home that's what I'm gonna do Cause you've done better by me than I've done by you I'm drowning in you
