Written by：Garcia/Hunter

As I was walkin' down Grosvenor Square

Not a chill to the winter but a nip to the air

From the other direction she was calling my eye

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 heat of the evening when the dealin' got rough

She was too pat to open and too cool to bluff

As I picked up my matches and was closin' the door

I had one of those flashes I'd been there before been there before

Well I ain't often right but I've never been wrong

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 nothin' wrong with the way she moves

All 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

The wind in the willow's playing 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
