Terrapin Station (Live in New Jersey April 1 1988) - Grateful Dead[00:00:00]

Let my inspiration flow in token rhyme[00:00:32]

Suggesting rhythm[00:00:37]

That will not forsake you[00:00:40]

Till my tale is told and done[00:00:42]

While the firelight's aglow[00:00:50]

Strange shadows from the flames will grow[00:00:53]

Till things we've never seen will seem familiar[00:00:57]

Shadows of a sailor[00:01:07]

Forming winds both foul and fair all swarm[00:01:10]

Down in Carlisle[00:01:15]

He loved a lady many years ago[00:01:16]

Here beside him stands a man[00:01:25]

A soldier from the looks of him[00:01:29]

Who came through many fights[00:01:32]

But lost at love[00:01:35]

While the story teller speaks[00:01:43]

A door within the fire creaks[00:01:46]

Suddenly flies open[00:01:50]

And a girl is standing there[00:01:53]

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

All that fancy paints as fair[00:02:04]

She takes her fan and throws it[00:02:07]

In the lion's den[00:02:10]

Which of you to gain me tell[00:02:18]

Will risk uncertain pains of hell[00:02:21]

I will not forgive you[00:02:25]

If you will not take the chance[00:02:28]

The sailor gave at least a try[00:02:36]

The soldier being much too wise[00:02:39]

Strategy was his strength and not disaster[00:02:43]

The sailor coming out again[00:03:29]

The lady fairly leapt at him[00:03:33]

That's how it stands today[00:03:36]

You decide if he was wise[00:03:38]

The story teller makes no choice[00:03:47]

Soon you will not hear his voice[00:03:50]

His job is to shed light[00:03:54]

And not to master[00:03:56]

Since the end is never told[00:05:38]

We pay the teller off in gold[00:05:41]

In hopes he will come back[00:05:45]

But he cannot be bought or sold[00:05:47]

Terrapin Station[00:06:10]

Inspiration move me brightly[00:06:14]

Light the song with sense and color[00:06:18]

Hold away despair[00:06:22]

More than this I will not ask[00:06:25]

Faced with mysteries dark and vast[00:06:29]

Statements just seem vain at last[00:06:35]

Some rise some fall some climb[00:06:41]

To get to Terrapin[00:06:51]

Counting stars by candlelight[00:06:59]

All are dim but one is bright[00:07:02]

The spiral light of Venus[00:07:06]

Rising first and shining best[00:07:09]

On from the northwest corner[00:07:13]

Of a brand new crescent moon[00:07:17]

While crickets and cicadas sing[00:07:23]

A rare and different tune[00:07:29]

Terrapin Station[00:07:32]

In the shadow of the moon[00:07:36]

Terrapin Station[00:07:39]

And I know we'll get there soon[00:07:43]

Terrapin I can't figure out[00:07:47]

Terrapin if it's the end or beginning[00:07:50]

Terrapin[00:07:54]

But the train's put it's brakes on[00:07:56]

Terrapin[00:07:58]

And the whistle is screaming[00:07:59]

Terrapin[00:08:02]
