Ruby, Don't Cry
Harley came by this evening
And he said that he missed me
So I told him nobody ever has
I did not mean to deceive him
When he leaned in to kiss me
By the strip light, with heaven in his hands
He said: Ruby, don't cry
For the taste of metal and your priestess' eye
Your tears dry heavy on her collar tonight
In their blissful way
Oh the shadow she threw
On the backseat leather and your ribbon of blue
The darkness ringing when she turns to you
And she asks you to say
It's not over
'Til the light bends
Around your doorframe
For
I said, I'm leaving on Tuesday
He was wordless and breathless
I watched the sun in the river of his eyes
Still, he could not refuse me
In the room where they dressed us
On the bed that his letters had described
He said: Ruby, don't cry
For the taste of metal and your priestess' eye
Your tears dry heavy on her collar tonight
In their blissful way
Oh the shadow she threw
On the backseat leather and your ribbon of blue
The darkness spinning when she turns to you
And she asks you to say
It's not over
'Til the light bends
Around your doorframe
Draw me nearer, Ruby, with that heartache in your eyes
Ruby came by to see me
And she said she was sorry
So I told her nobody ever is
And he said that he missed me
So I told him nobody ever has
I did not mean to deceive him
When he leaned in to kiss me
By the strip light, with heaven in his hands
He said: Ruby, don't cry
For the taste of metal and your priestess' eye
Your tears dry heavy on her collar tonight
In their blissful way
Oh the shadow she threw
On the backseat leather and your ribbon of blue
The darkness ringing when she turns to you
And she asks you to say
It's not over
'Til the light bends
Around your doorframe
For
I said, I'm leaving on Tuesday
He was wordless and breathless
I watched the sun in the river of his eyes
Still, he could not refuse me
In the room where they dressed us
On the bed that his letters had described
He said: Ruby, don't cry
For the taste of metal and your priestess' eye
Your tears dry heavy on her collar tonight
In their blissful way
Oh the shadow she threw
On the backseat leather and your ribbon of blue
The darkness spinning when she turns to you
And she asks you to say
It's not over
'Til the light bends
Around your doorframe
Draw me nearer, Ruby, with that heartache in your eyes
Ruby came by to see me
And she said she was sorry
So I told her nobody ever is
