Terrapin Station lyrics
Song information
Artist: Grateful Dead Album: Terrapin Station
Lyrics
Let my inspiration flow in token rhyme, suggesting rhythm That will not forsake you, till my tale is told and done While the firelight's aglow, strange shadows from the flames will grow Till things we've never seen will seem familiar
Shadows of a sailor, forming winds both foul and fair all swarm Down in carlisle, he loved a lady many years ago Here beside him stands a man, a soldier from the looks of him Who came through many fights, but lost at love
While the story teller speaks, a door within the fire creaks; Suddenly flies open, and a girl is standing there Eyes alight, with glowing hair, all that fancy paints as fair She takes her fan and throws it, in the lion's den
Which of you to gain me, tell, will risk uncertain pains of hell? I will not forgive you if you will not take the chance The sailor gave at least a try, the soldier being much too wise Strategy was his strength, and not disaster
The sailor, coming out again, the lady fairly leapt at him That's how it stands today. you decide if he was wise The story teller makes no choice. soon you will not hear his voice His job is to shed light, and not to master
Since the end is never told, we pay the teller off in gold In hopes he will come back, but he cannot be bought or sold
Terrapin station
Inspiration, move me brightly. light the song with sense and color; Hold away despair, more than this I will not ask Faced with mysteries dark and vast, statements just seem vain at last Some rise, some fall, some climb, to get to terrapin
Counting stars by candlelight, all are dim but one is bright; The spiral light of venus, rising first and shining best On, from the northwest corner, of a brand new crescent moon While crickets and cicadas sing, a rare and different tune Terrapin station
In the shadow of the moon, terrapin station And I know we'll get there soon, terrapin station I can't figure out, terrapin, if it's the end or beginning, terrapin But the train's put it's brakes on, terrapin And the whistle is screaming, terrapin
Terrapin station - at the siding
While you were gone, these faces filled with darkness The obvious was hidden. with nothing to believe in The compass always points to terrapin
Sullen wings of fortune beat like rain You're back in terrapin for good or ill again, for good or ill again
