《Terrapin Station(Live at Assembly Center， Baton Rouge， October 16， 1977)》歌词

[00:00:00] Terrapin Station [Live at Assembly Center, Baton Rouge, October 16, 1977

[00:00:45] Let my inspiration flow in token rhyme suggesting rhythm

[00:00:53] That will not forsake you till my tale is told and done

[00:01:04] While the firelights aglow strange shadows from the flames will grow

[00:01:12] Till things weve never seen will seem familiar

[00:01:23] 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

[00:01:50] Who came through many fights but lost at love

[00:02:01] While the story teller speaks a door within the fire creaks

[00:02:09] Suddenly flies open and a girl is standing there

[00:02:20] Eyes alight with glowing hair all that fancy paints as fair

[00:02:28] She takes her fan and throws it in the lions den

[00:02:39] Which of you to gain me tell will risk uncertain pains of hell

[00:02:47] I will not forgive you if you will not take the chance

[00:02:58] The sailor gave at least a try the soldier being much too wise

[00:03:06] Strategy was his strength and not disaster

[00:03:55] The sailor coming out again the lady fairly leapt at him

[00:04:03] That's how it stands today you decide if he was wise

[00:04:14] The story teller makes no choice soon you will not hear his voice

[00:04:23] His job is to shed light and not to master

[00:05:38] Since the end is never told we pay the teller off in gold

[00:05:45] In hopes he will return but he cannot be bought or sold

[00:06:12] Inspiration move me brightly light the song with sense and color

[00:06:25] Hold away despair more than this I will not ask

[00:06:32] Faced with mysteries dark and vast statements just seem vain at last

[00:06:45] Some rise some fall some climb to get to terrapin

[00:07:04] Counting stars by candlelight all are dim but one is bright

[00:07:12] The spiral light of venus rising first and shining best

[00:07:19] On from the northwest corner of a brand new crescent moon

[00:07:30] While crickets and cicadas sing a rare and different tune

[00:07:39] Terrapin station

[00:07:44] In the shadow of the moon terrapin station

[00:07:52] And I know well get there soon terrapin

[00:07:58] I can't figure out terrapin if its the end or beginning terrapin

[00:08:05] But the trains put its brakes on terrapin

[00:08:09] And the whistle is screaming terrapin
