Lyrics

Ruby nights

The last that I saw
With eyes filled with rain
A waterfall of gold
It flickered on his face
(Flickered on his face)

He rode to the summit
And waited at the bridge
I waved him goodbye
He vanished o'er the ridge
(Vanished o'er the ridge)

My face to the heavens
I waited for a sign
But only cloudy demons were circling in the sky
(Circling in the sky)

I cried to the river
I cried to the rain
I begged the ruby night
To bring my love again
(Bring my love again)

*Interlude*

The calling of the tune
The slowing of the sun
Into the ruby night
A game we will be won
(Game we will be won)
