Ruby
Tweaker ft. Will Oldham Lyrics

It isn't always I am well
I am not always healthy

For sometimes I am ailing
Because sometimes I suffer from an illness

And yet in steaming night I smile
But in a hot night, I pretend to be happy

To downplay this my failing
To hide my weaknesses

And make a noise to bury all
And distract you from your sorrows

Of your weeping and your wailing
So that you don't cry or complain

And then in bed by little light
And then I try to sleep in a dimly lit room

And closed off from it all
And isolate myself from everything

I must try and bring a conscious end to night
I try to fall asleep consciously

And hope that dreams begin to fall
And hope to start dreaming

The color of my dreams, they would be you...ruby
My dreams always involve you, and you are the color red like ruby

Oh if I could close my eyes and bring you to me
If only I could sleep and have you by my side

Push your head into
Rest your head on my chest

Make you not you not you not you but me
Become one with me

And then in dreams I wander free
And in my dreams, I feel free

And see some things I'm meant to see
See things that are meant for me

And sometimes even I see thee
And sometimes I see you in my dreams

And would the night go on and on
If the night never ends

And not tomorrow end at dawn
And if tomorrow never comes

And whatever mat I lay upon
And whatever I sleep on

Dissolve
Disappear

Everything I do is done to bring you closer to me
Everything I do is to make you come closer to me

When you sleep your breath it blows right on through me
When you sleep, I feel your breath on me

And illness be or wellness thrive
Whether I am sick or healthy

My dream proves I am yet alive
My dreams make me feel alive

The color of my dreams, if I had dreams, they would be you...ruby
I would always dream of you, and you are the color red like ruby

The color of my dreams, they would be you...ruby
My dreams always involve you, and you are the color red like ruby
