Let my inspiration flow in token rhyme suggesting rhythm
That will not forsake you till my tale is told and done
While the firelight's aglow
Strange shadows from the flames will grow
Till things we've never seen will seem familiar
Shadows of a sailor forming winds
Both foul and fair all swarm
Down in Carlisle he loved a lady many years ago
Here beside him stands a man
A soldier from the looks of him
Who came through many fights but lost at love
While the story teller speaks a door within the fire creaks
Suddenly flies open and a girl is standing there
Eyes alight with glowing hair all that fancy paints as fair
She takes her fan and throws it in the lion's den
Which of you to gain me tell will risk uncertain pains of hell
I will not forgive you if you will not take the chance
The sailor gave at least a try the soldier being much too wise
Strategy was his strength and not disaster
The sailor coming out again the lady fairly leapt at him
That's how it stands today
You decide if he was wise
The story teller makes no choice
Soon you will not hear his voice
His job is to shed light and not to master
Since the end is never told we pay the teller off in gold
In hopes he will come back
But he cannot be bought or sold
Inspiration move me brightly
Light the song with sense and color
Hold away despair more than this I will not ask
Face of 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 get there soon
Terrapin (I can't figure out)
Terrapin (if it's the end or beginning)
Terrapin (but the train's put its brakes on)
Terrapin (and the whistle is screaming)
Terrapin
