Ruby's Arms
Patty Griffin

Written by Tom Waits

I will leave behind all of my clothes

I wore when I was with you

All I need's my railroad boots

And my leather jacket

As I say goodbye to Ruby's arms

Although my heart is breaking

I will steal away out through your blinds

For soon you will be waking

The morning light has washed your face

And everything is turning blue now

Hold on to your pillow case

There's nothing I can do now

As I say goodbye to Ruby's arms

You'll find another soldier

And I swear to God by Christmas

There'll be someone else to hold you

The only thing I'm taking is

The scarf off of your clothesline

I'll hurry past your chest of drawers

And your broken wind chimes

As I say goodbye I'll say goodbye

Say goodbye to Ruby's arms

I'll feel my way down the darkened hall

And out into the morning

The hobos at the freight yards

Have kept their fires burning

Jesus Christ

This goddamn rain

Will someone put me on a train

I'll never kiss your lips again

Or break your heart

As I say goodbye I'll say goodbye

Say goodbye to Ruby's arms
