Ruby

                                  It isn't always I am well

For sometimes I am ailing

And 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 little light

And closed off from it all

I must try and bring a conscious end to night

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

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 see

And sometimes even I see thee



And would the night go on and on

And not tomorrow end at dawn

And 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 right on through me



The color of my dreams, if I had dreams, they would be you...ruby

The color of my dreams, they would be you...ruby



And illness be or wellness thrive

My dream proves I am yet alive
