St. Stephen(Live at the Fillmore East, New York, NY 5/15/1970; Early Show) - Grateful Dead

作词：Jerry Garcia/Phil Lesh/Robert Hunter

Saint Stephen with a rose

in and out of the garden he goes

Country garden 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

Wrap the babe in scarlet colors

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 washed by the suds and foam

Been here so long he's got to calling it home

Fortune comes a crawlin' calliope woman

Spinnin' that curious sense of your own

Can you answer

Yes I can

But what would be the answer

to the answer man
