Ruby's Arms Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Carlos deJackal 

Cover art for Ruby's Arms lyrics by Tom Waits

One of the most beautiful break up songs ever written. The soldier leaving his "war lover" behind. Waits manages to repress his emotions until he hits "So Jesus Christ". Goosebumps everytime !!!

@Carlos deJackal “ Jesus Christ, this goddamn rain”, I believe, is actually his tears, since he mentions “morning light” earlier in the song, that it’s turning everth8ng “blue”, seems unlikely if it was raining/cloudy.
