Lady With a Fan

Let my inspiration

flow in

token

rhyme,

suggesting

rhythm,

That will not for

sake me, till my

tale is told and

done.

While the firelights ag

low, strange s

hadows f

rom the f

lames will g

row,

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 ag

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 with

in 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 un

certain

pains of

hell?

I will not for

give 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 di

saster.

SOLO

The

sailor, coming out a

gain, the

lady

fairly

leapt at

him.

That’s how it stands to

day. You de

cide if he was wi

se.

The

storyteller makes no

choice.

Soon you

will not

hear his

voice.

His job is to shed

light, and not to

master.

INTERLUDE

Fmaj7

Since the end is never told, we

pay the teller off in gold,

Fmaj7

hopes he will come back, but he can

not be bought or sold.

Terrapin Station

Inspi

ration,

move me

brigh

Dmaj7

tly.

Light the song with sense and color,

Hold away despair,

more than

this I will not

ask.

Faced with

C#m

mysteries

Gmaj7

dark and

vast,

D#m7-5

Statements just seem

vain at

last

D#m7-5

Some

rise,

Some

fall,

Some

climb,

get to

Terrapin.

Counting

stars by candle

light,

all are

C#m

dim but one is

bright,

The

spiral light of Venus,

rising

first and shining best,

Oh,

from the northwest

corner,

of a

C#m

brand new crescent

moon

Dmaj7

Crickets and ci

cadas

sing,

D#m7-5

rare and different tune,

Terrapin

Sta

tion.

In the

shadow

of the

moon,

Terrapin

Sta

tion.

And I

know well b

e there s

oon,

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.

SOLO

Terrapin Transit

At A Siding

While you were

gone,

These

faces filled with

darkness.

The

obvious was

hidden.

With

nothing to be

lieve in,

The

compass always

points to Terrapin.

Sullen wings of fortun

e bead like

rain.

You're

back in Terra

pin for good or

ill again

, for

good or ill a

gain.
