Terrapin Station (Live at Red Rocks Amphitheatre, Morrison, CO 7/8/78) - Grateful Dead[00:00:01]

Written by：Garcia/Hunter[00:00:02]

Let my inspiration flow in token rhyme[00:00:36]

Suggesting rhythm[00:00:41]

That will not forsake you[00:00:44]

Till my tale is told and done[00:00:47]

While the firelight's aglow[00:00:54]

Strange shadows from the flames will grow[00:00:58]

Till things we've never seen will seem familiar[00:01:02]

Shadows of a sailor[00:01:17]

Forming winds both foul many years ago[00:01:19]

Here beside him stands a man[00:01:31]

A soldier from the looks of him[00:01:35]

Who came through many fights but lost at love[00:01:39]

While the story teller speaks[00:01:50]

A door within the fire creaks[00:01:53]

Suddenly flies open and a girl is standing there[00:01:57]

Eyes alight with glowing hair[00:02:08]

All that fancy paints as fair[00:02:12]

She takes her fan and throws it in the lion's den[00:02:15]

Which of you to gain me tell[00:02:26]

Will risk uncertain pains of hell[00:02:30]

I will not forgive you if you will not take the chance[00:02:34]

The sailor gave at least a try[00:02:44]

The soldier being much too wise[00:02:48]

Strategy was his strength and not disaster[00:02:52]

The sailor coming out again[00:04:17]

The lady fairly leapt at him[00:04:20]

That's how it stands today[00:04:24]

You decide if he was wise[00:04:27]

The story teller makes no choice[00:04:35]

Soon you will not hear his voice[00:04:39]

His job is to shed light and not to master[00:04:43]

Since the end is never told[00:05:46]

We pay the teller off in gold[00:05:49]

In hopes he will come back[00:05:52]

But he cannot be bought or sold[00:05:55]

Inspiration move me brightly[00:06:17]

Light the song with sense and color[00:06:25]

Hold away despair more than this I will not ask[00:06:28]

Faced with mysteries dark and vast[00:06:35]

Statements just seem vain at last[00:06:41]

Some rise some fall some climb[00:06:47]

To get to terrapin[00:06:56]

Counting stars by candlelight[00:07:04]

All are dim but one is bright[00:07:08]

The spiral light of Venus[00:07:11]

Rising first and shining best[00:07:14]

On from the northwest corner[00:07:18]

Of a brand new crescent moon[00:07:22]

While crickets and cicadas[00:07:27]

Sing a rare and different tune[00:07:30]

Terrapin station[00:07:36]

In the shadow of the moon terrapin station[00:07:40]

And I know we'll get there soon terrapin[00:07:47]

I can't figure out terrapin[00:07:53]

If it's the end or beginning terrapin[00:07:56]

But the train's put its brakes on terrapin[00:07:59]

And the whistle is screaming terrapin[00:08:03]
