《Terrapin Station》歌词

[00:00:48] Let my inspiration flow in token rhyme suggesting rhythm

[00:00:55] That will not forsake you till my tale is told and done

[00:01:06] While the firelight's aglow

[00:01:09] Strange shadows from the flames will grow

[00:01:14] Till things we've never seen will seem familiar

[00:01:24] Shadows of a sailor forming winds both foul and fair all swarm

[00:01:31] Down in Carlisle he loved a lady many years ago

[00:01:42] Here beside him stands a man a soldier from the looks of him

[00:01:49] Who came through many fights but lost at love

[00:02:00] While the story teller speaks a door within the fire creaks

[00:02:07] Suddenly flies open and a girl is standing there

[00:02:18] Eyes alight with glowing hair all that fancy paints as fair

[00:02:24] She takes her fan and throws it in the lion's den

[00:02:35] Which of you to gain me tell

[00:02:39] Will risk uncertain pains of hell

[00:02:42] I will not forgive you if you will not take the chance

[00:02:53] The sailor gave at least a try the soldier being much too wise

[00:03:00] Strategy was his strength and not disaster

[00:03:46] The sailor coming out again the lady fairly leapt at him

[00:03:53] That's how it stands today you decide if he was wise

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

[00:04:08] Soon you will not hear his voice

[00:04:11] His job is to shed light and not to master

[00:06:16] Since the end is never told we pay the teller off in gold

[00:06:24] In hopes he will come back but he cannot be bought or sold

[00:06:49] Terrapin Station

[00:06:53] Inspiration move me brightly

[00:06:58] Light the song with sense and color

[00:07:01] Hold away despair more than this I will not ask

[00:07:08] Face of mysteries dark and vast

[00:07:14] Statements just seem vain at last

[00:07:20] Some rise some fall some climb to get to Terrapin

[00:07:38] Counting stars by candlelight all are dim but one is bright

[00:07:46] The spiral light of Venus rising first and shining best

[00:07:53] On from the northwest corner of a brand new crescent moon

[00:08:03] While crickets and cicadas sing a rare and different tune

[00:08:12] Terrapin Station

[00:08:16] In the shadow of the moon Terrapin Station

[00:08:23] And I know we'll get there soon Terrapin Station

[00:08:29] I can't figure out Terrapin

[00:08:32] If it's the end or beginning Terrapin

[00:08:36] But the train's put its brakes on Terrapin

[00:08:40] And the whistle is screaming terrapin
