st. stephen (live at winterland, sf, december 31, 1978) - grateful dead lyrics
[verse 1]
saint stephen with a rose
in and out of the garden he goes
country garland in the wind and the rain
wherever he goes, the people all complain
[verse 2]
stephen prospered in his time
well, he may and he may decline
did it matter? does it now?
stephen would answer if he only knew how
[instrumental break]
[verse 3]
wishing well with a golden bell
bucket hanging clear to h-ll
h-ll halfway ‘twixt now and then
stephen fill it up and lower down
and lower down again
[bridge]
ladyfinger dipped in moonlight
writing “what for?” across the morning sky
sunlight splatters dawn with answers
darkness shrugs and bids the day good-bye
speeding arrow, sharp and narrow
what a lot of fleeting matters you have spurned
several seasons with their treasons
wrap the babe in scarlet covers, call it your own
[verse 4]
did he doubt or did he try?
answers aplenty in the bye and bye
talk about your plenty, talk about your ills
one man gathers what another man spills
[instrumental break]
[verse 5]
saint stephen will remain
all he’s lost he shall regain
seash-r- washed by the suds and the foam
been here so long he’s got to calling it home
[outro]
fortune comes a-crawling, calliope woman
spinning that curious sense of your own
can you answer? yes i can
but what would be the answer to the answer man?
