The Grateful Dead — Terrapin Station Live at Knickerbocker Arena March 1990

[Terrapin Station] [Verse] 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 Oh, from the northwest corner Of a brand-new crescent moon Crickets and cicadas sing A rare and different tune [Outro] 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 Terrapin [Instrumental]
