Jerome J. Garcia, Robert C. Hunter
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
Inspiration, move me brightly
Inspiration, bewege mich hell
light the song with sense and color
Erleuchte das Lied mit Sinn und Farbe
Hold away despair
Halte Verzweiflung fern
more than this I will not ask
Mehr als das werde ich nicht bitten
Faced with mysteries dark and vast
Konfrontiert mit dunklen und weiten Geheimnissen
statements just seem vain at last
Scheinen Aussagen am Ende vergeblich
Some rise
Einige steigen
some fall
Einige fallen
some climb
Einige klettern
to get to terrapin
Um nach Terrapin zu gelangen
Counting stars by candlelight

Alle sind dunkel, aber einer ist hell
The spiral light of Venus
Das spiralförmige Licht der Venus
rising first and shining best
Zuerst aufsteigend und am besten leuchtend
On, from the northwest corner
Von der nordwestlichen Ecke

Eines brandneuen Halbmondes
While crickets and cicadas sing
Während Grillen und Zikaden singen

Eine seltene und andere Melodie
