Ruby's Arms Lyrics - Heartattack And Vine - Tom Waits

I will leave behind all of my clothes, 

I wore when I was with you. 

All I needs are 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. 

Morning light has washed your face 

and everything is turning blue now. 

I hold on to your pillow case. 

There's nothing that I can do now.

As I say goodbye to Ruby's arms, 

you'll find another soldier. 

And I swear to God by Christmas time, 

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 say goodbye, 

say goodbye to Ruby's arms. 

I steel away down the darkened hall 

and out into the morning. 

The hobos in the freight yards 

have kept their fires burning.

Said, "Jesus Christ, this god damn rain." 

Will someone put me on a train? 

I'll never kiss your lips again 

or break your heart. 

As I say goodbye, I say goodbye, 

say goodbye to Ruby's arms.
