lyrics

RUBYSTONE
(words&music © David Ross Macdonald 2009)

cardboard crown was all that she wore
rubies be the pebbles she stole from the shore
even as i lose myself her wonder takes my hand
wresting troubles from my head like those pebbles from the sand

shifting thoughts that once were stone now drifting out to sea
drawn beyond the breakers where a man thinks he is free
feet sink to the sandy swirl with a memories chill
and i have one last stone to throw the arc is cast and i am still

be my ruby stone
twisting in the morning light
dance across my wall
be my ruby stone

be my ruby, be my ruby stone
be my ruby, be my ruby stone

SOLO

be my ruby stone
twisting in the morning light
dance across my wall
be my ruby stone

be my ruby, be my ruby stone
be my ruby, be my ruby stone

with your arms wrapped round my chest and water to my knees
together breath our greatest wish and listen to the sea
given once twice returned or broken into two
we take the tide and roll away and leave the stone that we once knew

be my ruby, be my ruby stone
be my ruby, be my ruby stone
