Stephanie`s Room Lyrics

(Words and Music by Joan Baez) 





"You've loved me exquisitely." 

"I tried to." 

"Can we be best of friends now?" 

"I never lied to you." 

"And can I love you forever?" 

"Sure," she said and smiled 

"But will you?" 



I wish there was some new way 

To sing about a full moon 

Poured down on us like a thousand rivers 

In Stephanie's room 

And you said you'd remember always 

The shadows on the hills below us 

But will you? 



You never once tried to sell me 

A bill of goods I wouldn't buy 

But I'm seasoned and I know a pirate 

By the devil in his eye 

And the only thing you ever stole from me 

Was laughter and some love I made 

To fill you 



White snow in the morning 

Kind of frightened me 

But you'd go sailing anyway 

Things are different at sea 

You know I'll never try and change your habit 

As sure as you know if your ship sinks 

It'll kill you 



And all the lovely ladies who came before me 

Are very much the same 

As the others soon to follow 

In your merry little game 

I guess I just want to be remembered 

Especially and frequently 

Like Stephanie 



Five red tail hawks are circling 

Above us in the sky 

You said they'd bring good luck 

And then you said goodbye 

You smiled and said, "I'll see you 

Sooner than you think." 

But will you?
