Crazy Fingers

Grateful Dead: Crazy Fingers

Grateful Dead: Crazy Fingers 6/14/76



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 a laughing willow
stray down to the water
deep sea of love
beneath the sweet
calm face of the sea
swift undertow


life may be sweeter for this
i don't know
see how it feels in the end
may Lady Lullaby
sing plainly for you
soft, strong, sweet and true


cloud hands reaching
from a rainbow
tapping at the window
touch your hair
so swift and bright
strange figures of light
float in air


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 inside


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


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


midnight on a carousel ride
reaching for the gold ring
down inside
never could reach
it just slips away
but i try
