[00:00:00] Terrapin Station (Suite) - Daniel Rossen/Christopher Bear/The National/Josh Kaufman

[00:00:03] Written by：Jerry Garcia

[00:00:15] Let my inspiration flow in token rhyme suggesting rhythm

[00:00:22] That will not forsake me till my tale is told and done

[00:00:32] While the firelight's aglow strange shadows from the flames will grow

[00:00:39] Till things we've never seen will seem familiar

[00:00:49] Shadows of a sailor forming winds both foul and fair all swarm

[00:00:56] Down in Carlisle he loved a lady many years ago

[00:01:07] Here beside him stands a man a soldier from the looks of him

[00:01:14] Who came through many fights but lost at love

[00:01:24] While the story teller speaks a door within the fire creaks

[00:01:31] Suddenly flies open and a girl is standing there

[00:01:42] Eyes alight with glowing hair all that fancy paints as fair

[00:01:48] She takes her fan and throws it in the lion's den

[00:01:59] Which of you to gain me tell will risk uncertain pains of hell

[00:02:06] I will not forgive you if you will not take the chance

[00:02:16] The sailor gave at least a try the soldier being much too wise

[00:02:24] Strategy was his strength and not disaster

[00:03:08] The sailor coming out again the lady fairly leapt at him

[00:03:15] That's how it stands today you decide if he was wise

[00:03:26] The storyteller makes no choice soon you will not hear his voice

[00:03:33] His job is to shed light and not to master

[00:04:20] Since the end is never told we pay the teller off in gold

[00:04:27] In hopes he will come back but he cannot be bought or sold

[00:04:51] Inspiration move me brightly light the song with sense and color

[00:05:03] Hold away despair more than this I will not ask

[00:05:09] Faced with mysteries dark and vast statements just seem vain at last

[00:05:20] Some rise

[00:05:23] Some fall

[00:05:27] Some climb

[00:05:31] To get to terrapin

[00:05:37] Counting stars by candlelight all are dim but one is bright

[00:05:44] The spiral light of Venus rising first and shining best

[00:05:51] On from the northwest corner of a brand new crescent moon

[00:06:00] While crickets and cicadas sing a rare and different tune

[00:06:09] Terrapin station

[00:06:13] In the shadow of the moon

[00:06:16] Terrapin station

[00:06:20] And I know we'll get there soon

[00:06:24] Terrapin

[00:06:25] I can't figure out

[00:06:27] Terrapin

[00:06:29] If it's the end or beginning

[00:06:31] Terrapin

[00:06:32] But the train's put it's brakes on

[00:06:34] Terrapin

[00:06:35] And the whistle is screaming

[00:06:37] Terrapin

[00:09:39] While you were gone these spaces filled with darkness

[00:09:50] The obvious was here

[00:09:57] With nothing to believe in the compass always points to terrapin

[00:10:11] Sullen wings of fortune beat like rain

[00:10:18] You're back in terrapin for good or I'll again for good or I'll again
