Terrapin Station (Suite) - Daniel Rossen/Christopher Bear/The National/Josh Kaufman[00:00:00]
Written by:Jerry Garcia[00:00:03]
Let my inspiration flow in token rhyme suggesting rhythm[00:00:15]
That will not forsake me till my tale is told and done[00:00:22]
While the firelight's aglow strange shadows from the flames will grow[00:00:32]
Till things we've never seen will seem familiar[00:00:39]
Shadows of a sailor forming winds both foul and fair all swarm[00:00:49]
Down in Carlisle he loved a lady many years ago[00:00:56]
Here beside him stands a man a soldier from the looks of him[00:01:07]
Who came through many fights but lost at love[00:01:14]
While the story teller speaks a door within the fire creaks[00:01:24]
Suddenly flies open and a girl is standing there[00:01:31]
Eyes alight with glowing hair all that fancy paints as fair[00:01:42]
She takes her fan and throws it in the lion's den[00:01:48]
Which of you to gain me tell will risk uncertain pains of hell[00:01:59]
I will not forgive you if you will not take the chance[00:02:06]
The sailor gave at least a try the soldier being much too wise[00:02:16]
Strategy was his strength and not disaster[00:02:24]
The sailor coming out again the lady fairly leapt at him[00:03:08]
That's how it stands today you decide if he was wise[00:03:15]
The storyteller makes no choice soon you will not hear his voice[00:03:26]
His job is to shed light and not to master[00:03:33]
Since the end is never told we pay the teller off in gold[00:04:20]
In hopes he will come back but he cannot be bought or sold[00:04:27]
Inspiration move me brightly light the song with sense and color[00:04:51]
Hold away despair more than this I will not ask[00:05:03]
Faced with mysteries dark and vast statements just seem vain at last[00:05:09]
Some rise[00:05:20]
Some fall[00:05:23]
Some climb[00:05:27]
To get to terrapin[00:05:31]
Counting stars by candlelight all are dim but one is bright[00:05:37]
The spiral light of Venus rising first and shining best[00:05:44]
On from the northwest corner of a brand new crescent moon[00:05:51]
While crickets and cicadas sing a rare and different tune[00:06:00]
Terrapin station[00:06:09]
In the shadow of the moon[00:06:13]
Terrapin station[00:06:16]
And I know we'll get there soon[00:06:20]
Terrapin[00:06:24]
I can't figure out[00:06:25]
Terrapin[00:06:27]
If it's the end or beginning[00:06:29]
Terrapin[00:06:31]
But the train's put it's brakes on[00:06:32]
Terrapin[00:06:34]
And the whistle is screaming[00:06:35]
Terrapin[00:06:37]
While you were gone these spaces filled with darkness[00:09:39]
The obvious was here[00:09:50]
With nothing to believe in the compass always points to terrapin[00:09:57]
Sullen wings of fortune beat like rain[00:10:11]
You're back in terrapin for good or I'll again for good or I'll again[00:10:18]
