Let my inspiration flow in token rhyme suggesting rhythm [00:00:29]
That will not forsake you till my tale is told and done [00:00:37]
[00:00:43]
While the firelight's aglow strange shadows from the flames will grow [00:00:48]
Till things we've never seen will seem familiar [00:00:55]
[00:01:00]
Shadows of a sailor forming winds both foul and fair all swarm [00:01:06]
Down in carlisle he loved a lady many years ago [00:01:14]
Here beside him stands a man a soldier from the looks of him [00:01:25]
Who came through many fights but lost at love [00:01:33]
While the story teller speaks a door within the fire creaks [00:01:44]
Suddenly flies open and a girl is standing there [00:01:52]
Eyes alight with glowing hair all that fancy paints as fair [00:02:02]
She takes her fan and throws it in the lion's den [00:02:10]
Which of you to gain me tell will risk uncertain pains of hell [00:02:21]
I will not forgive you if you will not take the chance [00:02:29]
The sailor gave at least a try the soldier being much too wise [00:02:39]
Strategy was his strength and not disaster [00:02:47]
The sailor coming out again the lady fairly leapt at him [00:03:36]
That's how it stands today you decide if he was wise [00:03:42]
The story teller makes no choice soon you will not hear his voice [00:03:53]
His job is to shed light and not to master [00:04:01]
Since the end is never told we pay the teller off in gold [00:05:05]
In hopes he will come back but he cannot be bought or sold [00:05:12]
Inspiration move me brightly light the song with sense and color [00:05:37]
Hold away despair more than this I will not ask [00:05:49]
Face of mysteries dark and vast statements just seem vain at last [00:05:55]
Some rise some fall some climb to get to terrapin [00:06:07]
Counting stars by candlelight all are dim but one is bright [00:06:24]
The spiral light of venus rising first and shining best [00:06:32]
On from the northwest corner of a brand new crescent moon [00:06:39]
While crickets and cicadas sing a rare and different tune [00:06:49]
Terrapin station [00:06:58]
In the shadow of the moon terrapin station [00:07:02]
And I know we'll get there soon terrapin [00:07:09]
I can't figure out terrapin if it's the end or beginning terrapin [00:07:14]
But the train's put its brakes on terrapin [00:07:21]
And the whistle is screaming terrapin [00:07:25]
