《Terrapin Station》歌词

[00:00:29] Let my inspiration flow in token rhyme suggesting rhythm

[00:00:37] That will not forsake you till my tale is told and done

[00:00:43]

[00:00:48] While the firelight's aglow strange shadows from the flames will grow

[00:00:55] Till things we've never seen will seem familiar

[00:01:00]

[00:01:06] Shadows of a sailor forming winds both foul and fair all swarm

[00:01:14] Down in carlisle he loved a lady many years ago

[00:01:25] Here beside him stands a man a soldier from the looks of him

[00:01:33] Who came through many fights but lost at love

[00:01:44] While the story teller speaks a door within the fire creaks

[00:01:52] Suddenly flies open and a girl is standing there

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

[00:02:10] She takes her fan and throws it in the lion's den

[00:02:21] Which of you to gain me tell will risk uncertain pains of hell

[00:02:29] I will not forgive you if you will not take the chance

[00:02:39] The sailor gave at least a try the soldier being much too wise

[00:02:47] Strategy was his strength and not disaster

[00:03:36] The sailor coming out again the lady fairly leapt at him

[00:03:42] That's how it stands today you decide if he was wise

[00:03:53] The story teller makes no choice soon you will not hear his voice

[00:04:01] His job is to shed light and not to master

[00:05:05] Since the end is never told we pay the teller off in gold

[00:05:12] In hopes he will come back but he cannot be bought or sold

[00:05:37] Inspiration move me brightly light the song with sense and color

[00:05:49] Hold away despair more than this I will not ask

[00:05:55] Face of mysteries dark and vast statements just seem vain at last

[00:06:07] Some rise some fall some climb to get to terrapin

[00:06:24] Counting stars by candlelight all are dim but one is bright

[00:06:32] The spiral light of venus rising first and shining best

[00:06:39] On from the northwest corner of a brand new crescent moon

[00:06:49] While crickets and cicadas sing a rare and different tune

[00:06:58] Terrapin station

[00:07:02] In the shadow of the moon terrapin station

[00:07:09] And I know we'll get there soon terrapin

[00:07:14] I can't figure out terrapin if it's the end or beginning terrapin

[00:07:21] But the train's put its brakes on terrapin

[00:07:25] And the whistle is screaming terrapin
