《Terrapin Station(Live at Winterland， December 31， 1978)》歌词

[00:00:39] Let my inspiration flow in token rhyme suggesting rhythm

[00:00:46] That will not forsake you till my tale is told and done

[00:00:53]

[00:00:58] While the firelight's aglow

[00:01:02] Strange shadows from the flames will grow

[00:01:07] Till things we've never seen will seem familiar

[00:01:18] Shadows of a sailor forming winds

[00:01:23] Both foul and fair all swarm

[00:01:26] Down in Carlisle he loved a lady many years ago

[00:01:33]

[00:01:38] Here beside him stands a man

[00:01:42] A soldier from the looks of him

[00:01:46] Who came through many fights but lost at love

[00:01:58] While the story teller speaks a door within the fire creaks

[00:02:06] Suddenly flies open and a girl is standing there

[00:02:17] Eyes alight with glowing hair all that fancy paints as fair

[00:02:25] She takes her fan and throws it in the lion's den

[00:02:37] Which of you to gain me tell will risk uncertain pains of hell

[00:02:45] I will not forgive you if you will not take the chance

[00:02:56] The sailor gave at least a try the soldier being much too wise

[00:03:04] Strategy was his strength and not disaster

[00:03:54] The sailor coming out again the lady fairly leapt at him

[00:04:02] That's how it stands today

[00:04:05] You decide if he was wise

[00:04:08]

[00:04:14] The story teller makes no choice

[00:04:18] Soon you will not hear his voice

[00:04:22] His job is to shed light and not to master

[00:06:30] Since the end is never told we pay the teller off in gold

[00:06:38] In hopes he will come back

[00:06:41] But he cannot be bought or sold

[00:07:05] Inspiration move me brightly

[00:07:14] Light the song with sense and color

[00:07:18] Hold away despair more than this I will not ask

[00:07:25] Face of mysteries dark and vast

[00:07:32] Statements just seem vain at last

[00:07:38] Some rise some fall some climb to get to Terrapin

[00:07:58] Counting stars by candlelight all are dim but one is bright

[00:08:06] The spiral light of Venus rising first and shining best

[00:08:13] On from the northwest corner of a brand new crescent moon

[00:08:24] While crickets and cicadas sing a rare and different tune

[00:08:34] Terrapin Station

[00:08:39] In the shadow of the moon

[00:08:42] Terrapin Station

[00:08:47] And I know we'll get there soon

[00:08:51] Terrapin (I can't figure out)

[00:08:55] Terrapin (if it's the end or beginning)

[00:08:59] Terrapin (but the train's put its brakes on)

[00:09:03] Terrapin (and the whistle is screaming)

[00:09:07] Terrapin
