Tom Waits - Ruby's Arms Lyrics
I will leave behind all of my clothes, I wore when I was with you, all iNeeds my railroad boots, and my leather jacket, as I say goodbye to rubysArms, although my heart is breaking, I will steal away out through yourBlinds, for soon you will be waking.The morning light has washed your face, and everything is turning blue now,Hold on to your pillow case theres nothing I can do now, as I say goodbye toRubys arms, youll find another soldier, and I swear to God by christmas,Therell be someone else to hold you.The only thing Im taking is the scarf off of your clothesline, Ill hurryPast your chest of drawers, and your broken window chimes, as I say goodbyeIll say goodbye, say goodbye to rubys arms.Ill feel my way down the darken hall, and out into the morning, the hobosAt the freightyards, have kept their fires burning, so jesus christ thisGoddamn rain, will someone put me on a train, Ill never kiss your lips again,Or break your heart, as I say goodbye Ill say goodbye, say goodbye to rubysArms.
