Let my inspiration flow in token rhyme suggesting rhythm [00:00:39]
That will not forsake you till my tale is told and done [00:00:46]
[00:00:53]
While the firelight's aglow [00:00:58]
Strange shadows from the flames will grow [00:01:02]
Till things we've never seen will seem familiar [00:01:07]
Shadows of a sailor forming winds [00:01:18]
Both foul and fair all swarm [00:01:23]
Down in Carlisle he loved a lady many years ago [00:01:26]
[00:01:33]
Here beside him stands a man [00:01:38]
A soldier from the looks of him [00:01:42]
Who came through many fights but lost at love [00:01:46]
While the story teller speaks a door within the fire creaks [00:01:58]
Suddenly flies open and a girl is standing there [00:02:06]
Eyes alight with glowing hair all that fancy paints as fair [00:02:17]
She takes her fan and throws it in the lion's den [00:02:25]
Which of you to gain me tell will risk uncertain pains of hell [00:02:37]
I will not forgive you if you will not take the chance [00:02:45]
The sailor gave at least a try the soldier being much too wise [00:02:56]
Strategy was his strength and not disaster [00:03:04]
The sailor coming out again the lady fairly leapt at him [00:03:54]
That's how it stands today [00:04:02]
You decide if he was wise [00:04:05]
[00:04:08]
The story teller makes no choice [00:04:14]
Soon you will not hear his voice [00:04:18]
His job is to shed light and not to master [00:04:22]
Since the end is never told we pay the teller off in gold [00:06:30]
In hopes he will come back [00:06:38]
But he cannot be bought or sold [00:06:41]
Inspiration move me brightly [00:07:05]
Light the song with sense and color [00:07:14]
Hold away despair more than this I will not ask [00:07:18]
Face of mysteries dark and vast [00:07:25]
Statements just seem vain at last [00:07:32]
Some rise some fall some climb to get to Terrapin [00:07:38]
Counting stars by candlelight all are dim but one is bright [00:07:58]
The spiral light of Venus rising first and shining best [00:08:06]
On from the northwest corner of a brand new crescent moon [00:08:13]
While crickets and cicadas sing a rare and different tune [00:08:24]
Terrapin Station [00:08:34]
In the shadow of the moon [00:08:39]
Terrapin Station [00:08:42]
And I know we'll get there soon [00:08:47]
Terrapin (I can't figure out) [00:08:51]
Terrapin (if it's the end or beginning) [00:08:55]
Terrapin (but the train's put its brakes on) [00:08:59]
Terrapin (and the whistle is screaming) [00:09:03]
Terrapin [00:09:07]
