Crazy Fingers Lyrics

Cover art for Crazy Fingers lyrics by Grateful Dead

One of my fav's to sing and play, while learning the lyrics it hit me...... It's is about falling in love, and conceiving a child.

"Recall the days that still are to come some sing blue." the conversation of starting a family.

"Stray down to the water, deep sea of love....." refers to a womens' Yoni.

"Cloud hands reaching from a rainbow tapping at the window, touch your hair So swift and bright strange figures of light float in air." refers to the tenderness of making love, and human physiology, the way sperm and egg meet one another.

"Who can stop what must arrive now? Something new is waiting to be born Dark as the night you're still by my side shine inside ." She's preggers!!

"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." New life brings new hope.

"Life may be sweeter for this, I don't know, Feels like it might be alright, While Lady Lullaby sings plainly through you Love still rings true." Despite the work it is to bear and raise a family, Love is the true reward.

"Midnight on a carousel ride reaching for the gold ring down inside, Never could reach it, just slips away but I try." Parents strive to be the best they can, but are still fragile humans, prone to making mistakes.
