Rubin and Cherise |
Cherise was brushing her long hair gently down |
It was the afternoon of carnival as she brushes it gently down |
And Rubin was strumming his painted mandolin |
It was inlaid with a pretty face in jade played in the carnival parade |
Cherise was dressing as Pirouette in white |
When a fatal vision gripped her tight Cherise beware tonight |
Rubin, Rubin 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 my heart you would know it’s true |
There’s none Cherise, except for you, except for you |
Well, I’d swear to it on my very soul, If I lie, say I fall down cold |
When Rubin played on his painted mandolin |
The breeze would pause to listen in before going on its way again |
Masquerade began when nightfall finally woke |
Like waves against the bandstand, dancers broke to the painted mandolin |
Looking out to the crowd who is standing there |
Sweet Ruby Claire at Rubin stared, at Rubin stared |
She was dressed as Pirouette in red |
And her hair hung gently down |
The crowd pressed round, Ruby stood as though alone |
Rubin’s song took on a different tone and he played it just for her |
The song he played was the carnival parade |
Each note cut a thread of Cherise’s fate it cut through like a blade |
Rubin was playing his painted mandolin |
When Ruby froze and turned to stone for the strings played all alone |
The voice of Cherise from the face of the mandolin |
Singing Rubin, Rubin tell me true for I have no one but you |
If you could see my heart you would know it true |
There’s none Cherise, except for you, except for you |
I’d swear to it on my very soul, If I lie, say I fall down cold |
The truth of love an unsung song must tell |
The course of love must follow blind without a look behind |
Rubin walked the streets of New Orleans till dawn |
Cherise so lightly in his arms and her hair hung gently down |
