Heather Nova – Ruby Red lyrics

I've got a ruby red desire
Like a virus, like my last hope

I've got a ruby red desire
I've got to hear the red bird sing
I've got to rip this cord
And rinse this lazy blood
Clear a path and walk away

I've been waiting for the sky to fall
I've been thinkin I could lose it all
I've been waiting for the saftey net
Tell myself that I'm not ready yet

And every memory's a dream
And each uncertainty reminds me why
I saw a kid outside playing by a moonogate
making paper things that fly

I've been waiting for the sky to fall
I've been thinkin I could lose it all
I've been waiting for the saftey net
Tell myself that I'm not ready yet

I want to live
I want to live
I want to live

I've been waiting for the sky to fall
I've been thinkin I could lose it all
I've been waiting for the saftey net
Tell myself that I'm not ready yet

I want to live
I want to live
I want to live
