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 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

Patience runs out on the bunny The dark side hires another soul Did he steal his fate or earn it? Was he force fed? Did he learn it? Whatever happened to his precious self control? Like him, Im tired of trying to heal This tomcat heart with which Im blessed Is destruction lovings twin? Must I choose to lose or win? Maybe when my turn comes I will have guessed These are the horns of the dilemma What truth this proof against all lies? When sacred fails before profane The wisest man is deemed insane Even the purest of romantics compromise What fixation feeds this fever? As the full moon pales and climbs Am I living truth or rank deceiver? Am I the victim or the crime? Am I the victim or the crime? Am I the victim or the crime, or the crime? And so I wrestle with the angel To see wholl reap the seeds I sow Am I the driver or the driven? Will I be damned to be forgiven? Is there anybody here but me who needs to know? What it is that feeds this fever As the full moon pales and climbs? Am I living truth or rank deceiver? Am I the victim or the crime? Am I the victim or the crime? Am I the victim or the crime? Am I the victim or the crime, or the crime? Carve your name Carve your name in ice and wind Never flow Look to where the river ends Or where the river starts Everything thats in you You think to be your part Never give your love, my friend Unto a foolish heart Unto a foolish heart Learn to leap Leap from ledges high and wild Learn to speak Speak with wisdom like a child Directly to the heart Crown yourself the king of clowns Or stand way back apart But never give your love, my friend Unto a foolish heart Unto a foolish heart Shun a friend Shun a brother and a friend Never look Never look around the bend Or check the weather chart Everything within in you You think could be your part But never give your love, my friends Unto a foolish heart Unto a foolish heart A foolish heart will call you... Turn around and blame you For the way you went astray A foolish heart will cost you sleep And most make you curse A selfish heart is trouble But a foolish heart is worse Bite the hand Bite the hand that bakes your bread Dare to land Where the angels fear to tread Til you are torn apart Everything that... ...part Never give your love, my friends Unto a foolish heart Unto a foolish heart Unto a foolish heart Unto a foolish heart Unto a foolish heart Unto a foolish heart

Im lookin out my window Watch the clouds go by I look to see eternity The endless rolling sky You cannot think of eternity Thinkin it like time You try to think, you try to count You just mess up your mind Eternity, eternity Baby, I love you, you love me Lets love each other through eternity Since before man could see There was eternity After man is come and gone Eternity lingers on, eternity lingers on Everything crawl, creep, or fly Just live until they die I lovе you, you love me Lets lovе each other through eternity Eternity, eternity I love you, you love me Lets love each other through eternity Through eternity Well I think about life, we dont know Whether it all could be in vain Look through time, its for sure Its the greatest gift to man Music and Love, you cant explain Try and understand The greatest thing could ever be We make love through eternity Eternity, eternity When the world think our defeat Think that we are gone Well still have our place in peace Our love will linger on, linger on We wont care just what who said If its truth or lie Well still have our greatest gift Love wont ever die Love wont ever die No, never die Love wont ever die Never, never Never die
Laid back in an old saloon, with a peso in my hand Watching flies and children on the street I catch a glimpse of black-eyed girls who giggle when I smile Theres a little boy and he 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 Instead Ive got a bottle and a girl thats 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 Well, 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 drinkin and thinkin are all I have today Well, 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 And Id have no one but myself to blame 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 now Im spending my lifetime running with 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 the desert sands, yeah
Went to see the captain, strangest I could find Laid my proposition down, laid it on the line I wont slave for beggars pay, likewise gold and jewels But I would slave to learn the way to sink your ship of fools Ship of fools on a cruel sea Ship of fools sail away from me It was later than I thought when I first believed you But now I cannot share your laughter, ship of fools Saw your first ship sink and drown from rocking of the boat And all that could not sink or swim were just left there to float I wont leave you drifting down but whoa it makes me wild With thirty years upon my head to have you call me child Ship of fools on a cruel sea Ship of fools sail away from me It was later than I thought when I first believed you But now I cannot share your laughter, ship of fools The bottles stand as empty now, as they were filled before Time there was and plenty, but from that cup no more Though I could not caution all, I still might warn a few Dont lend your hand to raise no flag atop no ship of fools Ship of fools on a cruel sea Ship of fools sail away from me It was later than I thought when I first believed you But now I cannot share your laughter, ship of fools
Hog of a Sunday Dog of a Monday Get it back someday Whatd I say? Movin in close Cut from a long shot Fade on a downbeat Ready or not ready or not Chorus: Corrina, Wake it up baby Corrina, Shake it on down Corrina, Corrina Cruise through a stop sign Loggin up short time Bird on a phone line Soakin up the Sun Salt on a crowtail What can I do? Im down by law But Im true to you true to you Chorus: If, what, where and when Told at the proper time Big black wings beat on the wind But they dont hardly climb Theres a silver ocean Silver clouds and silver sea A bird on the horizon Silver wingin back to me Chorus: Wake it up baby Shake it down easy Bring it back someday Whatd I say? Movin in closer Cut from a long shot Fade on a downbeat Ready or not ready or not Corrina-Wake it up baby Corrina-Shake it down easy Corrina-Shake it up now Corrina-Shake it back down If, what, where, when and how No it dont mean a thing to me I would love you even if You flew away from me Ill just stand here waiting On the far side of the sea There is no fear that lovers born Will ever fail to meet Chorus:
