A letra:
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
Oh Scarlet begonias or a touch of the blues
And
there's nothing wrong with the look that's in her eyes
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
