ruby nights

the last that i saw

with eyes filled with rain

a waterfall of gold

it flickered on his face

he rode to the summit

and waited at the bridge

i waved him goodbye

he vanished o'er the ridge

my face to the heavens

i waited for a sign

but only cloudy demons were circling in the sky

i cried to the river

i cried to the rain

i begged the ruby night

to bring my love again

the calling of the tune

the slowing of the sun

into the ruby night

a game we will be won
