Ruby, don’t you dare look at me that way
I’ve been working all morning, my back still aches
No matter how hard I try to stand up straight
Sometimes you twist something once and it’s just never the same
I was standing just outside the door
You were on the other side, lying on the floor
I don’t know why my heart sinks straight down
When I get out of the car, walk up to our house
Ruby, I know that you’re hungry again
For something I don’t know that I can give
Now what I’ve got is always yours to take
But the great machine’s broke, there’s nothing new to make
I was watching while you counted the days
I was stealing from you in my quiet way
Don’t mean to imply any kind of mistake
But when I look at you now, I wonder why did you wait
Ruby, I wonder are you listening now
Wherever you’re sleeping, do you hear the sound
Of my ocean inside, of the crashing waves
They roll in and roll out, but your footprints remain
