Текст песни Ruby (Eddie Berman) с переводом

Ruby reads the table

The way that she was taught

She knows everything that’s coming

And everything that’s not

I first seen her down in Long Beach

She was mobbed by movie stars

They fell on their hands and knees

And begged to see her scars

A world of worthless numbers

Are almost all that fill my head

But I can still remember

The first thing ruby said"

«For to recognize the feeling

Abandon all the meaning you have known

I will play Suzanne

And you will play her sinking stone»

With Ruby’s thumb

The world unspun

And I was overcome

Seaweed filled the city

Children filled the sea

That’s the last I saw of Ruby

And Ruby saw of me

Ruby, meet me in the morning

Ruby, open up your door

Ruby, I never knew that I could be

So heart broke before

The words swam out like minnows

On cold currents through her window right to you

But nothing else would matter, as everyone was shattered

By the news

And now that I’m finally seeing

Things are exactly what they seem

Every single night

I have the same damn dream

Ruby comes in shaking

Waking all the neighbors from their sleep

Saying things have gone too far

And your promise has become too hard to keep

As ruby spun

Beneath the midnight sun

I am overcome
