Goodbye Ruby, watch you windingDown these snake trails that roll like rain drops in the dustWindy woman, blown my coverI sit here all alone but I would never sing this kind of songWicked dreamsDown drowning streamsOf blood and other wild schemesThat play like mold for the rustSwallow's wingsAnd other old and tattered thingsThe dull and fade of wedding ringsNow this song is one of thoseThere's fire in these hills, closer every day,The wind calls the hangman to my nameMy father said the ocean would beat upon my graveAnd that on that day I would long for my homeAnd it's family stoneHere I am waitingIn watercolor greyI'll wait for you or Jesus or any other technicolor dayHowling dogs at the dust cloud wallsSnapping at the heels of deathTo share with them a piece of the catchLetras de cancionesI long to see the Banyan trees or any other place,Where the waves are made of thunderAnd the seabirds clean the blood from off my feetOh wicked ocean, made my heart a beggarThe crabs that ride the jet streamsAre picking out the eyes of my dreamsThe fire in these hills gets closer every day,The wind calls the hangman to my nameMy brother said the wildworld would feed upon my skinAnd that on that day I would long for the farmAnd an honest simple faith...The majesty of insect wingsAnd the brittle of their bonesReminds me of a tropic windBlowing through the skull of our homeRuby I chased your laughter with elephant wingsYou left me for the lawLeft me bones for the graveChildish beautySunday charmAll has made a ghost of me, spirit dead, shackled armsAs I hung the wind whipped your wild nameAnd pierced the heart of a fading ghostFor seabirds only death upon the plainThe blood that beats this heartIs blood upon the floorRuby you lead the hangman to my doorMy mother said a woman would be the death of meAnd that on that day no god would hear...An outlaw's dying prayer From Letras Mania
