Ruby

Ruby waits a while before she stays
Never looking back 'til he's miles away
Keeps her reputation like a stone
She's not really tired; she's just overgrown
She says,
"Hey, I could be wrong, but at least I'm breathing
Hey, we could go any where but down"
She says, "Hey, let me be you," and I fall down screaming
Every thing's a miracle when you've got your face in the crowd
Ruby never says what side she's on
She lives in the shade of unfinished songs
She has got a photographic soul
Every one she meets in a fractured hole
She says,
"Hey, I could be wrong, but at least I'm breathing
Hey, we could go any where but down"
She says, "Hey, let me be you," and I fall down screaming
Every thing's a miracle when you've got your face in the crowd
Ruby likes the sound of people's clothes
No one ever knows when she'll go
She's got reservations with a ghost
She's not looking back; she's just growing old
She says,
"Hey, I could be wrong, but at least I'm breathing
Hey, we could go any where but down"
She says, "Hey, let me be you," and I fall down screaming
Every thing's a miracle when you've got your face in the crowd
Ruby waits a while before she stays
Never looking back 'til he's miles away
Keeps her reputation like a stone
She's not really tired; she's just overgrown
