St. Stephen [2[00:02:22]
St. Stephen[00:02:22]
-----------[00:02:22]
Saint Stephen with a rose,[00:02:22]
in and out of the garden he goes,[00:02:22]
country garland in the wind and the rain,[00:02:22]
wherever he goes the people all complain.[00:02:22]
Stephen prospered in his time,[00:02:22]
well he may and he may decline.[00:02:22]
Did it matter, does it now?[00:02:22]
Stephen would answer if he only knew how.[00:02:22]
Wishing well with a golden bell,[00:02:22]
bucket hanging clear to hell,[00:02:22]
hell halfway twixt now and then,[00:02:22]
Stephen fill it up and lower down and lower down again.[00:02:22]
Lady finger, dipped in moonlight,[00:02:22]
writing "What for?" across the morning sky.[00:02:22]
Sunlight splatters, dawn with answer,[00:02:22]
darkness shrugs and bids the day goodbye.[00:02:22]
Speeding arrow, sharp and narrow,[00:02:22]
what a lot of fleeting matters you have spurned,[00:02:22]
several seasons with their treasons,[00:02:22]
wrapped the babe in scarlet covers, call it your own.[00:02:22]
Did he doubt or did he try?[00:02:22]
Answers aplenty in the bye and bye,[00:02:22]
talk about your plenty, talk about your ills,[00:02:22]
one man gathers what another man spills.[00:02:22]
Saint Stephen will remain, all he's lost he shall regain,[00:02:22]
seashore walk by the suds and the foam,[00:02:22]
been there so long, he's got to calling it home.[00:02:22]
Fortune comes a calling, calliope woman,[00:02:22]
spinning that curious sense of your own.[00:02:22]
Can you answer, "Yes I can"?[00:02:22]
but what would be the answer to the answer-man?[00:02:22]
High green chilly winds and windy vines[00:02:22]
in loops around the twisted shafts of lavender, they're crawling to the[00:02:22]
sun.[00:02:22]
Underfoot the ground is patched[00:02:22]
with arms of ivy wrapped around the manzanita, stark and shiny in the[00:02:22]
breeze.[00:02:22]
Wonder who will water all the children of the garden[00:02:22]
when they sigh about the barren lack of rain and droop so hungry neath[00:02:22]
the sky.[00:02:22]
William Tell has stretched his bow til it won't stretch[00:02:22]
no furthermore and/or it may require a change that hasn't come before[00:02:22]
