《Ruby》歌词

[00:00:00] Ruby (鲁比) - Janis Ian (珍妮斯·艾恩)

[00:00:00] Written by：Janis Ian/Kye Fleming

[00:00:10] They say she's not a lady

[00:00:19] 'Cause every love has its price

[00:00:23] Night after night ruby

[00:00:32] Another man at her side

[00:00:36] And each one colder than the last

[00:00:45] The men get older

[00:00:47] And the bed lies

[00:00:49] The dream dies

[00:00:51] And the looks fade too fast

[00:00:56] Ruby's got a past

[00:01:01] But when she's sleeping alone

[00:01:09] She dreams of cleansing her soul

[00:01:17] Just like they promised in church

[00:01:25] But the Sundays seem to come and go

[00:01:29] Like the preachers on the radio

[00:01:49] Above the noise and the neon

[00:01:57] There's a saxophone

[00:01:59] Playing smoky old familiar notes

[00:02:04] That float up the stairs

[00:02:08] Ruby takes a rose from her hair

[00:02:14] Sees her face in the mirror

[00:02:22] Wipes her cheek with a tear

[00:02:27] Under the make up she longs to be touched

[00:02:33] Ruby don't ask for much

[00:02:39] And when she's sleeping alone

[00:02:47] She dreams of cleansing her soul

[00:02:55] Just like they promised in church

[00:03:02] But the Sundays seem to come and go

[00:03:06] Like the preachers on the radio

[00:03:25] Some sell their bodies for dimes

[00:03:34] While others marry

[00:03:36] For the houses and the jewelry

[00:03:40] It's a real thin line

[00:03:46] What you charge for your time
