Let my inspiration flow In token rhyme suggesting rhythm That will not forsake me Til my tale is told and done While the firelights aglow Strange shadows from the flames will grow Til things weve 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 storyteller 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 lions 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 Thats how it stands today You decide if he was wise The storyteller makes no choice Soon you will not hear his voice His job is to shed light 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 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 Terrapin Station In the shadow of the moon Terrapin Station And I know well be there soon Terrapin - I cant figure out Terrapin - If its the end or beginning Terrapin - But the trains put its brakes on Terrapin - And the whistle is screaming: Terrapin Thanks a lot. Thank you. Good night

Out in the West Texas town of El Paso I fell in love with a Mexican girl Night time would find me in Rosas Cantina Music would play and Felina would whirl Black as the night were the eyes of Felina Wicked and evil while casting a spell My love was strong for this Mexican maiden I was in love, but in vain I could tell One night a wild young cowboy came in Wild as the West Texas wind Dashing and daring, a drink he was sharing With wicked Felina, the girl that I love So in anger I challenged his right for the love of this maiden Down went his hand for thе gun that he wore My challengе was answered in less than a heartbeat The handsome young stranger lay dead on the floor Just for a moment I stood there in silence Shocked by the foul evil deed I had done Many thoughts raced through my mind as I stood there I had but one chance and that was to run Out through the back door of Rosas I ran Out where the horses were tied I picked a good one, he looked like he could run Up on his back and away I did ride Just as fast as I Could from the West Texas town of El Paso Out through the badlands of New Mexico Back in El Paso my life would be worthless Everythings gone in life, nothing is left But its been so long since Ive seen the young maiden My love is stronger than my fear of death I saddled up and away I did go, riding alone in the dark Maybe tomorrow a bullet may find me Tonight nothings worse than this pain in my heart And at last here I Am on the hill overlooking El Paso I can see Rosas Cantina below My love is strong and it pushes me onward Down off the hill to Felina I go Off to my right I see five mounted cowboys Off to my left ride a dozen or more Shouting and shooting, I cant let them catch me Ive got to make it to Rosas back door Something is dreadfully wrong, for I feel A deep burning pain in my side Its getting harder to stay in the saddle Im getting weary, unable to ride But my love for Felina is strong And I writhe where Ive fallen Though I am weary, I cant stop to rest I see the white puff of smoke from the rifle I feel the bullet go deep in my chest From out of nowhere, Felina has found me Kissing my cheek as she kneels by my side Cradled by two loving arms that Ill die for One little kiss and Felina goodbye Thanks, Texans

Look for a while at the china cat sunflower Proud walking jingle in the midnight sun Copperdome bodhi drip a silver kimono Like a crazy quilt stargown through a dream night wind Krazy Kat peeking through a lace bandanna Like a one-eyed cheshire, like a diamond-eye jack A leaf of all colors plays a golden-string fiddle To a double-e waterfall over my back Comic book colors on a violin river crying a lot of Words from out a silk trombone I rang a silent bell, beneath a shower of pearls In the eagle-winged palace of the Queen Chinee

Right outside this lazy summer home You aint got time to call your soul a critic, no Right outside the lazy gate of winters summer home Wondering where the nut-thatch winters Wings a mile long just carried the bird away Wake up to find out that you are the eyes of the world The heart has its beaches, its homeland and thoughts of its own Wake now, discover that you are the song that the morning brings But the heart has its seasons, its evenings and songs of its own There comes a rеdeemer, and he slowly too fades away And thеre follows his wagon behind him thats loaded with clay The seeds that were silent all burst into bloom, and decay And night comes so quiet, its close on the heels of the day Wake up to find out that you are the eyes of the world The heart has its beaches, its homeland and thoughts of its own Wake now, discover that you are the song that the morning brings The heart has its seasons, its evenings and songs of its own Sometimes we live no particular way but our own Sometimes we visit your country and live in your home Sometimes we ride on your horses, sometimes we walk alone Sometimes the songs that we hear are just songs of our own Wake up to find out that you are the eyes of the world The heart has its beaches, its homeland and thoughts of its own Wake now, discover that you are the song that the morning brings The heart has its seasons, its evenings and songs of its own

I had a hard run Running from your window I was all night running I wonder if you care I had a run-in Run around and run down Run around a corner I run smack into a tree I had to move Really had to move Thats why if you please I am on my bended knees Bertha, dont you come around here anymore Dressed myself in green I went down under the sea To see whats going down Oh, and read between the lines I was falling, falling I turned around to see Heard a voice calling Running back to me I had to move Really had to move Thats why if you please I am on my bended knees Bertha, dont you come around here anymore Ran into a rainstorm I duckеd back into a bar door It was all night pouring, pouring Not a drop on me Test me, tеst me, test me Why dont you arrest me? Throw me in the jail house Until the sun goes down I had to move Really had to move Thats why if you please I am on my bended knees Bertha, dont you come around here anymore I had to move Really had to move Thats why if you please I am on my bended knees Bertha, dont you come around here anymore I had to move Really had to move Thats why if you please I am on my bended knees Bertha, dont you come around here anymore Anymore, anymore, anymore, anymore Anymore, anymore, anymore, anymore Anymore, anymore, anymore, anymore Anymore

I have seen where the wolf has slept by the silver stream I can tell by the mark he left you were in his dream Ah, child of countless trees Ah, child of boundless seas What you are, what youre meant to be Speaks his name, though you were born to me Born to me, Cassidy Lost now on the country miles in his Cadillac I can tell by the way you smile hes rolling back Come wash the nighttime clean Come grow this scorched ground green Blow the horn, tap the tambourinе Close the gap of the dark yеars in between You and me, Cassidy Quick beats in an icy heart Catch-colt draws a coffin cart There he goes now, here she starts Hear her cry Flight of the seabirds, scattered like lost words Wheel to the storm and fly Faring thee well now Let your life proceed by its own design Nothing to tell now Let the words be yours, Im done with mine Faring thee well now Let your life proceed by its own design Nothing to tell now Let the words be yours, Im done with mine

Theres mosquitoes on the river Fish are rising up like birds Been hot for seven weeks now Too hot to even speak now You hear what I just heard? It might have been a fiddle Or it could have been the wind But there seems to be a beat now I can feel it my feet now Here it comes again There’s a band out on the highway Theyre high-stepping into town Its a rainbow full of sound Fireworks, calliopes and clowns Everybody’s dancing Come on children, come on children now Come on and clap your hands Well, the cool breeze around Thе moon came up in wine Stars werе spinning dizzy Lord, the band kept us so busy We forgot about the time Theyre a band beyond description Like Jehovahs favorite choir People joining hand in hand Let the music play the band Lord, theyre setting us on fire Crazy rooster crowing midnight Balls of lightning roll along Old men sing about their dreams Women laugh and children scream And the band keeps playing on Keep on dancing through the daylight Greet the morning air with song No ones noticed, but the bands all packed and gone Were they ever here at all? But they kept on dancing Oh, come on children, come on children Come on, clap your hands Well, the sun beams are up The corns a bumper crop The fields are full of dancing Full of singing and romancing The music never stopped Well be back in just a little bit

Laid back in an old saloon with a peso in my hand Watching flies and children on the street And I catch a glimpse of black-eyed girls who giggle when I smile Theres a little boy who wants to shine my feet Three days ride from Bakersfield and I dont know why I came I guess I came to keep from paying dues So instead Ive got a bottle and a girl whos just fourteen And a damn good case of the Mexicali Blues, yeah Is there anything a man dont stand to lose When the devil wants to take it all away? Cherish well your thoughts, and keep a tight grip on your booze Cause thinkin and drinkin are all I have today She said her name was Billie Jean and she was fresh in town I didnt know a stage line ran from Hell She had raven hair, a ruffled dress, a necklace made of gold All the French perfume youd care to smell She took me up into her room, whispered in my ear Go on, my friend, do anything you choose Now Im payin for those happy hours I spent there in her arms With a lifetimes worth of the Mexicali Blues, yeah Is there anything a man dont stand to lose When the devil wants to take it all away? Cherish well your thoughts, and keep a tight grip on your booze Cause thinkin and drinkin are all I have today Then a man rode into town, some thought he was the law Billie Jean was waiting when he came She told me he would take her if I didnt use my gun But Id have no one but myself to blame I went down to those dusty streets, blood was on my mind I guess that stranger hadnt heard the news Cause I shot first and killed him, Lord, he didnt even draw And he made me trade the gallows for the Mexicali Blues, yeah Is there anything a man dont stand to lose When he lets a woman hold him in her hands? You just might find yourself out there on horseback in the dark Just riding and running across those desert sands
