Ruby suns and ruddy Cups of pearly-dewdrops' drops Weeks in our company Cups of pearly-dewdrops' drops

Ruby suns and ruddy Cups of pearly-dewdrops' drops Weeks in our company Cups of pearly-dewdrops' drops

Ruby suns and ruddy cups Cups of pearly-dewdrops' drops Ruby suns and ruddy cups Cups of pearly-dewdrops' drops

And as he jumps the puddle To try to turn to loving this Where still I am not strong So when he turned around he saw

And as he jumps the puddle To try to turn to loving this Where still I am not strong So when he turned around he saw

Ruby suns and ruddycups Cups of pearly-dewdrops' drops Ruby suns and ruddy cups Cups of pearly-dewdrops' drops

Ruby suns and ruddy Suns and ruddy

@Slarti so much closer, THANK YOU. It's been 20+ years since Liz Fraser herself said the oft-quoted lyrics were weirder than whatever she had in mind.

But watch the official video: at least twice, she clearly says 'ruddy columns' - you can see her lips. The other times it sounds like 'cups', but the vocals are doubled and the other word is 'drops'... it sounds a bit like 'cups', but it might be 'columns' there too.

Either way: your lyrics are the closest I have seen, so thanks.
