The Grateful Dead

As I was walking around Governor's 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 asking 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 bad to open and too cool to buff.
As I picked up my matches and was closing the door
I had one of those flashes I'd been there before
I'd 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. Oh, Scarlet begonias are 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. The wind in the willows playing Thief O'Toole. The sky was yellow and the sun was
blue. Strangers stopping strangers just to shake their hand. Everybody's playing in
the heart of gold band, heart of gold band.
