Jerry Garcia
Crazy Fingers (Live at Great American Music Hall, SF, 8/13/75)
[Verse 1]
Your rain falls like crazy fingers
Peals of fragile thunder, keeping time
Recall the days that still are to come
Some sing blue
Hang your heart on laughing willow
Stray down to the water
Deep sea of love
Beneath the sweet calm face of the sea
Swift undertow
[Chorus]
Life may be sweeter for this, I don't know
See how it feels in the end
May Lady Lullaby sings plainly for you
Soft, strong, sweet and true
[Verse 2]
Cloud hands reaching from a rainbow
Tapping at the window, touch your hair
Dark as the night
You're still by my side
Shining side
Who can stop what must arrive now?
Something new is waiting to be born
Dark as the night
You're still by my side
Shining side
[Bridge]
Gone are the days we stopped to decide
Where we should go
We just ride
Gone are the broken eyes we saw through in dreams
Gone - both dream and lie
[Instrumental break]
[Chorus]
Life may be sweeter for this I don't know
Feels like it might be alright
While Lady Lullaby sings plainly for you
Love still rings true
[Verse 3]
Midnight on a carousel ride
Reaching for the gold ring down inside
Never could reach it
It just slips away when I try
[Instrumental break with drum solo]
