Black Throated Wind Lyrics
Artist(Band):Grateful Dead
Review The Song (1)Print the Lyrics
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,
Plunging like stones from a slingshot from mars.

But I'm 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 won't pick me up,
The highway, the moon, and clouds and the stars.

Black throated wind, keeps on pourin' in,
With it's 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.

Now 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.

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 it's 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.
Cause you've done better by me than I've done by you,
I'm drowning in you.

Review about Black Throated Wind

heartfelt | Reviewer: Anonymous | 9/6/2008

as a lifelong dead fan, i still wait for a song which i can say is more heartfelt than BTW. bobbie gives everything he s got into this one. earlier today on channel 32 sirius, i was fortunate enough to hear BTW twice. dylanish in its lyrical progrssion. BTW, never fails at bringing out a certain desperation we have all felt. when all else fails, weir concludes-"going back home thats what i am goin do" sometimes we all feel like thats all we CAN do. "i am drowning in you" another familar metaphor for those of us that have been through a desperate relationship. oh yes,BTW will always take me to a familiar place in my head and heart. keep on keeping on bobbie. and GOD BLESS THE GRATEFUL DEAD.
