This is Ruby Red

Well it seems you have a heart

I saw it once so I know it's true

You let it out on Sundays when

You let it beat me black and blue

When you went and stole my heart

I saw it go so I know it's true

It was a Ruby, Ruby, Ruby Red

It was the most precious

Gift I could give to you

It was as red as the sun in the evening sky

It was as red as the fire in a panther's eye

It was as red as the rose under the summer sun

Like a fire from a killer's gun

Ruby, Ruby Red

Shinе a light onto this boy's bed

There's a street lamp glowing in my hеad

Oh, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby Red

Well it seems you have a soul

You let it go so I know it's true

It was a Ruby, Ruby, Ruby Red

It keeps me warm when I'm

Feeling sad and blue

Well you went and stole my heart

I saw it go so I know it's true

I wrapped it up in a bouquet of

Barbed wire

It was the wickedest gift I could give to you

It was as red as the sun in the evening sky

It was as red as the fire in a panther's eye

It was as red as the rose under the summer sun

Like a fire from a killer's gun

(Hey, hey, hey)

Ruby, Ruby Red

Shine a light onto this boy's bed

There's a street lamp glowing in my head\

Oh, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby Red

Well just like Johnny Rio baby

I need to be desired

I give up looking for my past

For the ones I left behind

Ruby Red, Ruby Red

Hey , hey , hey

Ruby, Ruby Red

Shine a light onto this boy's bed

There's a street lamp glowing in my head

Oh, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby Red

It was the most precious jewel

I could give to you

Colour me red when I'm feeling blue

The colour of a kiss in a young girl's dream

The mark of a guillotine

A drop of blood from a single thorn

Red wet sheets in the afternoon

A red light leading to my tomb

Ruby red all around my room

Ruby, ruby red

Oh shine a light onto this boy's bed

Oh, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby Red
