Lyrical and melodic variation on the earlier, "Put Me In A Box." I was looking for something less whimsical and overtly topical.  This is really the same subject however; just presented through a different, more personal lens:

Suzanne, I really hope you know
When it all turns upside down and It's time to go
I'll rely on you, you are like gold
Beautiful and strong

Suzanne I don't know what to think
And I don't know how long we can wait
The wolves are hungry now, clawing at the gate
We can't hold too long

Where, where, where do we go?
Where, where, how will we know?
And when will we be home?

Oh Suzanne my dear, did you ever dream
We'd see such days, this gothic scene?
Here comes the terror, the war machine
We've got to get away

Suzanne, as I said, I look to you
You keep your head in danger, never lose your cool
Your are like gold, immutable
In every fire we have known

Where, where, where do we fly?
When, when do we arrive?
And will we know why?

Suzanne, oh be my strength once more

Jerry Garcia (1942-1995) created an unparalleled legacy across the American landscape, most notably in his role as a founding member, singer, songwriter and lead guitarist of the Grateful Dead. Garcia's unmistakable guitar tone enchanted multitudes of "Deadheads" throughout the band's 30-year career and beyond. His work with the Jerry Garcia Band, Old and in the Way, Legion of Mary, Garcia/Grisman, and projects with Merl Saunders, only scratch at the surface of his musical influences, as he set out to master the Great American Songbook. Unequivocally devoted to the craft of music, Garcia continues to inspire future generations through the body of work he has left behind and his creative spirit.
