From the other direction,

she was calling my eye,

Could be an illusion butl 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 ofthe 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 ofthose 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 a song.
Once in a while you

get shown the light

In the strangest of places

ifyou look at it right.
INSTRUMENTAL
And there's nothing wrong
with the look that's in her eye,
I had to learn the hard wayjust

to let her pass by, let her pass by.
INSTRUMENTAL
Strangers stoppin' strangers
just to shake their hand,
Everybody's playing in the heart
of gold band, heart of gold band.
