Scarlet Begonias [Live at JFK Stadium, Philadelphia, PA, July 7, 1989]

As I was walking 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
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
Too pat to opеn and too cool to bluff
As I picked up my matches and was closing the door
I had onе of those flashes: I'd been there before
Been there before

I ain't often right but I've never been wrong
It seldom turns out the way it does in the 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
Or scarlet begonias or a touch of the blues
And there's nothing wrong with the look that's in her eye
Had to learn the hard way to let her pass by
Let her pass by

[Instrumental Bridge]

The wind in the willows played tea for two
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

[Instrumental Outro]
