Artist/Band: Joan Baez
Lyrics for Song: Stephanie's Room
Lyrics for Album: Complete A&m Recordings [2003]



(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?

As part of her substantial body of work, the track highlights Baez's ability to convey deep sentiment through simple, direct storytelling.
