Little Ruby Rain

[Chorus]
Stay in the shadow of my hand
Comfortable friend
You're a tree-ripened girl
Still green
Seen on billboards
You're a baby
Not in age, but ideas
Toss and turn my friend to the end
Of the storm underneath your sleeping eyelids

[Verse 1]
You're the sun reflected in the sand of a far-away land
You're a circus performer magnificently
Twirling
The acrobat inside you is leisurely
Suspended using no net
Destiny is below with it's casual arithmetic waiting

[Refrain]
Little Ruby Rain your storm is just a game
And it's strange to be yesterday's thunder

[Verse 2]
When the vines of Times Square
Electrify your soft hair
And four white horses
With ruby red eyes
Pull your casket away

[Verse 3]
Only a thimble full of people
Will understand
And as the applause dies down
I'll remember you the way you are today

[Chorus]
Stay in the shadows of my hand, comfortable friend
You're a tree-ripened girl
Still green
Seen on billboards
You're a baby
Not in age, but ideas
Toss and turn my friend to the end
Of the storm underneath your sleeping eyelids

[Refrain]
Little Ruby Rain your storm is just a game
And it's strange to be yesterday's thunder
