[Spoken: Bob Weir]
All right, now we're gonna play everybody's favorite fun game, move back! Now, when I tell you, "take a step back," everybody take a step back, all right? Right
Ok, take a step back! And take another step back! And take yet another step back! And another! Take a step back! Everybody feel better?
What do you mean, no?
[Spoken: Jerry Garcia]
Uh, see, uh, all these people in front are getting horribly smashed here. So, that means all you people in the back have to move back -
[Spoken: Bob Weir]
Or feel real guilty
[Spoken: Jerry Garcia]
Just move back some -
[Spoken: Bob Weir]
Then all your friends up front won't be real bug-eyed
[Verse 1]
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 callin' my eye
Could be an illusion, but I might as well try
Might as well try
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
In the heat of the evening when the dealing got rough
She was too pat to open and too cool to bluff
I picked up my matches, and was closing the door
Had one of those flashes I'd been there before
Been there before
[Bridge]
Well, I ain't always right but I've never been wrong
It 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
[Verse 4]
Ain't nothing wrong with the way she moved
Scarlet begonias or a touch of the blues
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
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 5]
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 Break]
