Beautiful song. Of course "ruby" is the unborn female child inside a grown woman, having relationship problems with the father. "Through the looking-glass" I am guessing is a metaphor for how different and strange this world must seem to an unborn child. I do not understand the line about Every boy smoking to cry... any ideas?
