Black Throated Wind (Live at Lyceum, London, England 5/24/1972) - Grateful Dead (感恩而死)

You're bringing me down I'm running aground

Blind in the lights of the interstate cars

Passing me by the busses and the semis

Plugging like stones from a slingshot on mars

But I'm here by the road bound to the load

I picked up in ten thousand cafes and bars

Alone with the rush of the drivers that won't 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 I'm drownin' in you

I left st Louie city of blues

In the midst of a storm I'd rather forget

I tried to pretend it came to an end

Cause you weren't the women I once thought I'd met

But I can't deny times have gone by

Well I never had doubts or thoughts of regret

And I was a man when all this began

Who wouldn't think twice about being there yet

Black throated wind whisper in sin

And speaking on life that passes like dew

It's forced me to see you've done better by me

Better by me that I've done by you

What's to be found by racing around

You carry your pain wherever you go

Full of blues and tryin' to lose

You ain't gonna learn what you don't wanna know

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

I'm turning around that's what I'm gonna do

Going back home that's what I'm gonna do

I'm turning around that's what I'm gonna do

Going back home that's what I'm gonna do

You've done better by me than I've done by you

I'm drowning in you

I'm drowning in you

You've done better by me than I've done by you

I'm drowning in you
