Scarlet Begonias - Live

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 willows 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
