jerry garcia band - reuben and cherise كلمات الأغنية

cérise was brushing her long hair gently down
it was the afternoon of carnival
as she brushes it gently down

reuben was strumming his painted mandolin
it was enlaid with a pretty face in jade
played the carnival parade

cérise was dressing as pirouette in white
when a fatal vision gripped her tight
cérise, beware tonight

reuben, reuben, tell me truly true
i feel afraid and i don’t know why i do
is there another girl for you

if you could see in my heart
you would know it’s true
there is none, cérise, except for you
except for you
i swear to it on my very soul
if i lie may i fall down cold

when reuben played on his painted mandolin
the breeze would stop and listen in
before going its way again
masquerade began when nightfall finally woke
like waves against the bandstand dancers broke
to the painted mandolin

looking out on the crowd, who is standing there?
sweet ruby claire at reuben stared
at reuben stared
she was dressed as pirouette in red
and her hair hung gently down

the crowd pressed round, ruby stood as though alone
reuben’s song took on a different tone
and he played it just for her

the song that he played was the carnival parade
each note cut a thread of cérise’s fate
it cut through like a blade

reuben was playing his painted mandolin
when ruby froze and turned to stone
for the strings played all alone

if you could see in my heart
you would know it’s true
there is none, cérise, except for you
except for you
the voice of cérise from the face of the mandolin
singing reuben, reuben, tell me true
for i have no one but you

if you could see my heart
you would know it’s true
there is none, cérise, except for you
except for you
i swear to it on my very soul
if i lie, may i fall down cold

the truth of love an unsung song must tell
the course of love must follow blind
without a look behind

reuben walked the streets of new orleans till dawn
cérise so lightly in his arms
and her hair hung gently down
