Lyrics for Rubin and Cherise by Grateful Dead:
| | | Artist: | Grateful Dead |
| | Album: | Miscellaneous | | Track: | Rubin and Cherise | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 103 | | | | Lyrics: | Cherise was brushing her long hair gently down
It was the afternoon of carnival as she brushes
it gently down
Rubin was strumming his painted mandolin
It was inlaid with a pretty face
in jade played in the carnival parade
Cherise was dressing as Pirouette in
white
When a fatal vision gripped her tight Cherise beware tonight
Rubin, Rubin tell me
truly true
I feel afraid and I don't know why I do, Is there another girl for
you?
If you could see my heart you would know it's true
There's none Cherise, except
for you, except for you
I'd swear to it on my very soul, If I lie, say I fall down
cold
When Rubin played on his painted mandolin
The breeze would pause to listen in
before going on its way again
Masquerade began when nightfall finally woke
Like waves
against the bandstand, dancers broke to the painted mandolin
Looking out to the crowd who
is standing there
Sweet Ruby Claire at Rubin stared, at Rubin stared
She was dressed as
Pirouette in red
And her hair hung gently down
The crowd pressed round, Ruby stood
as though alone
Rubin's song took on a different tone and he played it just for her
The
song he played was the carnival parade
Each note cut a thread of Cherise's fate it cut through
like a blade
Rubin was playing his painted mandolin
When Ruby froze and turned to
stone for the strings played all alone
The voice of Cherise from the face of the
mandolin
Singing Rubin, Rubin tell me true for I have no one but you
If you could
see my heart you would know it true
There's none Cherise, except for you, except for
you
I'd swear to it on my very soul, If I lie, say I fall down cold
The truth of
love an unsung song must tell
The course of love must follow blind without a look
behind
Rubin walked the streets of New Orleans till dawn
Cherise so lightly in his arms
and her hair hung gently down | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
