Ruby - Mat Kerekes

You wouldn’t know

But I think of you often

It’s like a line I can’t finish

Like I’m wishing for nothing

It’s been a long time

Still can’t come up with something

It’s like I’m stuck in a head rush

I’ve got some time I can’t manage

And I won’t even try

Did you feel the sunset beaming on your way in?

Did you get your lover back and laugh about it in the end?

Did you feel the wonder?

Did you let go of you hurt?

Did you hear your daughters cry for you?

Love is when they think of you

You wouldn’t know

But your presence is quiet

If I stay still, I can feel it

Like it’s speaking in silence

It’s been a long night

Now I’m imprisoned to morning

I could do anything, it just seems too uncertain

So I won’t even try

I stared up at the moon for a little while and wondered if maybe you were

looking too

Well maybe you were looking too

I thought about that night when you told me about your big plans and all of the

things you were gonna do

And I knew I believed in you

All of my years keep slipping away, slipping away

One in the same

All of my years keep slipping away

Wrestling me, they got too much to take

It’s been this way before, pulling out the thorns

They say that there’s a reason for it but I don’t know no more

I saw strangers passing by

I took their heartache all as mine

And I felt the rain coming down hard

I heard your voice, too young to say goodbye

Too young to say goodbye

Too young to say goodbye

Too young to say goodbye

I stood on your front porch, talking to your brother

I don’t see him much anymore

Things have changed since you’ve been gone

Maybe we learned the hard way or maybe it was a mistake

It doesn’t matter either way

It was what I wanted anyway

All of my years keep slipping away, slipping away

One in the same

All of my years keep slipping away

So I will tell you when I’m done, tell you when I’m done

So I will tell you when I’m done
