[Originally by Grateful Dead]
As I was walkin' round grosvenor
square
Not a chill to the winter but a nip to the air
From the other direction, she was
calling my eye
It could be an illusion, but I might as well try, might as well try
She
had rings on her fingers and bells on her shoes
And I knew without askin' she was into the
blues
She wore scarlet begonias tucked into her curls
I knew right away she was not like
other girls, other girls
In the thick of the evening when the dealing got rough
She was
too pat to open and too cool to bluff
As I picked up my matches and was closing the door
I
had one of those flashes I'd been there before, been there before
Well, I ain't always
right but I've never been wrong
Seldom turns out the way it does in a song
Once in a while
you get shown the light
In the strangest of places if you look at it right
Well there
ain't nothing wrong with the way she moves
Scarlet begonias or a touch of the blues
And
there's nothing wrong with the look that's in her eyes
I had to learn the hard way to let her
pass by, let her pass by
Wind in the willow's playin' "Tea for Two"
The sky was yellow
and the sun was blue
Strangers stoppin' strangers just to shake their hand
Everybody's
playing in the heart of gold band, heart of gold band | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
