Lyrics St. Stephen - Live at The Fillmore West San Fran 1969 Remastered Version - Grateful Dead
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.
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.
Wishing
well
with
a
golden
bell,
Bucket
hanging
clear
to
hell,
Hell
halfway
twixt
now
and
then,
Stephen
fill
it
up
and
lower
down
and
lower
down
again.
Lady
finger,
dipped
in
moonlight,
Writing
"What
for?"
across
the
morning
sky.
Sunlight
splatters,
dawn
with
answer,
Darkness
shrugs
and
bids
the
day
goodbye.
Speeding
arrow,
sharp
and
narrow,
What
a
lot
of
fleeting
matters
you
have
spurned,
Several
seasons
with
their
treasons,
Wrapped
the
babe
in
scarlet
covers,
call
it
your
own.
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.
Saint
Stephen
will
remain,
all
he′s
lost
he
shall
regain,
Seashore
walk
by
the
suds
and
the
foam,
Been
there
so
long,
he's
got
to
calling
it
home.
Fortune
comes
a
calling,
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?
High
green
chilly
winds
and
windy
vines
In
loops
around
the
twisted
shafts
of
lavender,
they′re
crawling
to
the
Sun.
Underfoot
the
ground
is
patched
With
arms
of
ivy
wrapped
around
the
manzanita,
stark
and
shiny
in
the
Breeze.
Wonder
who
will
water
all
the
children
of
the
garden
When
they
sigh
about
the
barren
lack
of
rain
and
droop
so
hungry
neath
The
sky.
William
Tell
has
stretched
his
bow
til
it
won't
stretch
No
furthermore
and/or
it
may
require
a
change
that
hasn't
come
before.
