Ruby
Eric Nally Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ruby dances like the rain and she shines like paradise
Softer than the summer breeze in Mexico
She ran away from yesterday with fire in her eyes
You wanna know her but you never really know
(Ruby, Ruby)
Ruby dances like rain walks like dynamite
I see her colors lighting up to steal the show
Her daddy's blamed her mother's pain
stay locked behind her eyes
You think you know but you never really know
(Ruby)
I hear your name when the night comes calling
(Ruby)
Don't know how you'd ever love with a fear of falling
A fear of falling
Ruby, Ruby
Met her playing at a bar sipping on some cherry wine
She stole my heart to the sound of Rolling Stones
Said I know a place a sweet escape
There's diamonds in the sky
Woke up to find that she was already long gone
(Ruby, Ruby)
I hear your name when the night comes calling
(Ruby, Ruby)
Don't know how you'd ever love with a fear of falling
(Ruby, Ruby)
I hear your name when the night comes calling
(Ruby, Ruby)
Don't know how you'd ever love with a fear of falling




I hear your name when the night comes calling
Don't know how you'd ever love with a fear of falling
