Inspiration, move me brightly.     Light the song with sense and color;
A                  E         A               E
Hold away despair, more than this I will not ask.
           C#m       Gmaj7    D   D#m7-5 E                    A       D   D#m7-5
Faced with mysteries dark and vast,      statements just seem vain at last.
     E
Some rise, some fall, some climb, to get to Terrapin.
Terrapin Station - Riff
E        A              E              C#m            D
Counting stars by candlelight, all are dim but one is bright;
    E                             A
The spiral light of Venus, rising first and shining best,
E   A                  E            C#m       B        D   D#m7-5
Oh, from the northwest corner, of a brand new crescent moon,
E            A      D D#m7-5     E
crickets and cicadas sing,     a rare and different tune,
         D  A
Terrapin Station.

       Bm     A      E              D  A
In the shadow of the moon, Terrapin Station.
                 D        E
And I know we'll be there soon,
E
(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,
 D
 terrapin
