Ruby

It isn't always I am well, sometimes I am ailing Yet in steaming night I smile to downplay this, my failing And make a noise to bury all of your weeping and your wailing And then in bed by a little light, I'm closed off from it all I must try and bring a conscious end tonight And hope that dreams begin to fall The color of my dreams, they would be you, Ruby Oh, if I could close my eyes and bring you to me And push your head into, make you not you, not you, not you but me And then in dreams I wander free And see some things I'm meant to be And sometimes even I see thee And would the night go on and on And not tomorrow end at dawn? Whatever mat I lay upon, dissolve The color of my dreams, if I had dreams, they would be you, Ruby Everything I do is done to bring you closer to me When you sleep your breath, it blows in right on through me, oh The color of my dreams, if I had dreams, they would be you, Ruby The color of my dreams, they would be you, Ruby Illness be or wellness thrive, my dream proves I am yet alive
