A Long Way Down From Stephanie - Al Stewart[00:00:01]
Maid truly I see[00:00:06]
Now it must be a long way down[00:00:10]
And with love's burnt shore[00:00:16]
Must all dalliance hither[00:00:21]
Crumble and wither[00:00:25]
Oh strange [00:00:27]
Methought it strange[00:00:28]
Thou couldst deprive me of my crown[00:00:31]
Thou cast upon me as linden bears fruit of bitter strain[00:00:42]
And I would go forsooth to the dragon's tooth[00:00:53]
If thus a chance were gained[00:00:59]
To resurrect that part of your wanton heart[00:01:04]
To whose grave my own is chained[00:01:09]
And hold ere thou dost go[00:01:14]
Were not thy moments gilded too [00:01:19]
And in honesty didst thou not measure for measure[00:01:25]
Countenance pleasure [00:01:34]
Cold wert thou so cold[00:01:36]
Lest thy mind be frozen too[00:01:40]
And will not spring be reborn[00:01:46]
But might the sun for the frost here[00:01:51]
That all be not lost herein[00:01:55]
And I would rather zounds[00:02:02]
It were hell's own hounds[00:02:05]
Whose foul breath upon my face[00:02:08]
Did portent my doom[00:02:13]
Than to bear the gloom[00:02:15]
Of a world stripped of thy grace[00:02:18]
And so in truth I know[00:02:23]
Yes it will be a long way down[00:02:28]
And if go thou must[00:02:34]
Ere we should meet accidental[00:02:38]
Prithee be gentle[00:02:42]
And though distant now[00:02:45]
Perchance the hand of time may soothe[00:02:48]
And though lost at six[00:02:54]
If I should live to be seven I might forget Stephanie[00:02:59]
