Terrapin Station Lyrics - Terrapin Station - Grateful Dead

Inspiration, move me brightly 

light the song with sense and color 

Hold away despair 

more than this I will not ask 

Faced with mysteries dark and vast 

statements just seem vain at last 

Some rise 

some fall 

some climb 

to get to terrapin 

Counting stars by candlelight 

all are dim but one is bright 

The spiral light of Venus 

rising first and shining best 

On, from the northwest corner 

of a brand new crescent moon 

While crickets and cicadas sing 

a rare and different tune 

Terrapin station 

In the shadow of the moon, terrapin station 

And I know we'll be there soon, terrapin 

I can't figure out, terrapin 

if it's the end or beginning, terrapin 

But the train's put it's brakes on, terrapin 

And the whistle is screaming, terrapin
