Anna Rubyanne

[Verse 1]
There's good money in construction for a Garrison man
But a heart in destruction won't mend in the wind
I saw him on a crosswalk lookin' hard led

[Refrain]
Walkin' cold wet steel for Anna Rubyanne

[Verse 2]
I can hear the soft words slippin' out from under his tongue
But they ain't fixin' nothin' hurtin' worse in the sun
I reckon he's just buildin' time matter over mind

[Refrain]
And walkin' cold wet steel for Anna Rubyanne, Anna Rubyanne

[Chorus]
Below the sirens screamin'
The mornin' whistle moans
Letters come with a warnin' I know
Garrison knows

[Verse 3]
I feel my eyes grow weaker every time around
I've taken all my chances givin' way to other sounds
Garrison's far from solid ground but closer where I am

[Refrain]
Walkin' cold wet steel for Anna Rubyanne, Anna Rubyanne

[Chorus]
Below the sirens screamin'
The mornin' whistle moans
Letters come with a warnin' I know
Garrison knows

[Verse 4]
A woman's in a mission with children abreast
But harder times are written down for distance to bend
Garrison fell dead a long ways back when

[Refrain]
Walkin' cold wet steel for Anna Rubyanne, Anna Rubyanne

[Chorus: 2X]
Below the sirens screamin'
The mornin' whistle moans
Letters come with a warnin' I know
Garrison knows

Below the sirens screamin'
The mornin' whistle moans
Letters come with a warnin' I know
Garrison knows
