Text: Joan Baez. Stephanie's Room.

"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"
Uh huh, but will you?
