Grateful Dead - Black Throated Wind Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Youre bringing me down, Im running aground,
  • Blind in the lights of the interstate cars,
  • Passing me by, the busses and the semis,
  • Plugging like stones from a slingshot from mars.
  • But Im here on the road, bound to the load,
  • That I picked up in ten thousand cafes and bars.
  • Alone with the rush of the drivers that wont pick me up,
  • The highway, the moon, and clouds and the stars.
  • Black throated wind, keeps on pourin in,
  • With its words of a life where nothing is new,
  • Ah, mother american night, I pass from the light,
  • Ah, Im drownin in you.
  • I left st. louie, city of blues,
  • In the midst of a storm Id rather forget.
  • I tried to pretend it came to an end,
  • Cause you werent the women I once thought Id met.
  • But I cant deny, times have gone by,
  • Well I never had doubts or thoughts of regret,
  • And I was a man when all this began,
  • Who wouldnt think twice about being there yet.
  • Black throated wind, whisper in sin,
  • And speaking on life that passes like dew.
  • Its forced me to see youve done better by me,
  • Better by me that Ive done by you.
  • Now whats to be found by racing around,
  • You carry your pain wherever you go,
  • Full of blues, and tryin to lose,
  • You aint gonna learn what you dont wanna know.
  • So I give you my eyes and all of their lies,
  • Please help them to learn as well as to see.
  • Capture a glance, and make it dance,
  • But looking at you is looking at me.
  • Black throated wind, keeps on pourin in,
  • With its words of a life that could almost be true,
  • Ah, mother american night, here comes a light.
  • Im turning around, thats what Im gonna do.
  • Going back home thats what Im gonna do.
  • Im turning around, thats what Im gonna do.
  • Going back home thats what Im gonna do.
  • Cause youve done better by me than Ive done by you,
  • Im drowning in you.
