It isn't always I am well, sometimes I am ailing
Yet in steaming night I smile to downplay this, my failing
And make a noise to bury all of your weeping and your wailing

And then in bed by a little light, I'm closed off from it all
I must try and bring a conscious end tonight
And hope that dreams begin to fall

The color of my dreams, they would be you, Ruby
Oh, if I could close my eyes and bring you to me
And push your head into, make you not you, not you, not you but me

And then in dreams I wander free
And see some things I'm meant to be
And sometimes even I see thee

And would the night go on and on
And not tomorrow end at dawn?
Whatever mat I lay upon, dissolve

The color of my dreams, if I had dreams, they would be you, Ruby
Everything I do is done to bring you closer to me
When you sleep your breath, it blows in right on through me, oh

The color of my dreams, if I had dreams, they would be you, Ruby
The color of my dreams, they would be you, Ruby

Illness be or wellness thrive, my dream proves I am yet alive
