Ruby

It isn't always I am well, sometimes I am ailing
 Yet in steaming night I smile to downplay this, my failing
 And make a noise to bury all of your weeping and your wailing
 And then in bed by a little light, I'm closed off from it all
 I must try and bring a conscious end tonight
 And hope that dreams begin to fall
 The color of my dreams, they would be you, Ruby
 Oh, if I could close my eyes and bring you to me
 And push your head into, make you not you, not you, not you but me
 And then in dreams I wander free
 And see some things I'm meant to be
 And sometimes even I see thee
 And would the night go on and on
 And not tomorrow end at dawn?
 Whatever mat I lay upon, dissolve
 The color of my dreams, if I had dreams, they would be you, Ruby
 Everything I do is done to bring you closer to me
 When you sleep your breath, it blows in right on through me, oh
 The color of my dreams, if I had dreams, they would be you, Ruby
 The color of my dreams, they would be you, Ruby
 Illness be or wellness thrive, my dream proves I am yet alive
