| printable copy of the lyrics to A LONG WAY DOWN FROM STEPHANIE | |
| Maid, truly I see now it must be a long way down
And with love's bud shorn Now must all dalliance hither crumble and wither [1] Oh strange, methought it strange Thou couldst deprive me of my crown [2] And my freedom that thou cast upon me as Litter bears fruit of bitter strain [3] |

And I would rather, Zounds! [5]
It were hell's own hounds Whose foul breath upon my face Did portent my doom, than to bear the gloom Of a world stripped of thy grace |

And so in truth I know
Yes it will be a long way down And if go thou must, ere we should meet accidental Prithee be gentle [6] And though distant now Perchance the hand of time may soothe And though lost at six, if I should live to be seven [7] I might forget Stephanie |

[1] Dalliance: staying around, wasting time
[2] The words 'thou' and 'thee' in this song are the equivalent of current French 'tu' and German 'du' - the familiar form of address which has now died out in English in favour of the universal 'you.' [3]The album cover has 'litter' although 'linden' seems to be heard on the record. Linden is an old word a tree of family Tiliaceae, e.g. the lime or basswood, although 'litter' does rhyme with and contrast with 'bitter.' [4] Forsooth: truly, or in truth (Old English) [5] Zounds: "God's wounds!" - old expletive [6] Prithee: pray thee = please. [7] The payoff: at the end of the song we discover that this is a junior school romance... |
