lyrics

WHEN I WAS YOUR BOY

So how do you remember
What I’m trying to forget
Like I’m put out to tender
But you know I’m not done yet

Are you stealing my thunder
Or are you lighting my day
Think you got my number
But its something that you’d never say
You couldn’t face it any way

When I was your boy
Thought a spark was in the air
Our hidden joy
But now I know that you were never there

Holding on to a fiction
From another play
It’s become an addiction
But its something that you’d never say
You wouldn’t mean it anyway

When I was your boy
Caught the darkness in the air
Forbidden joy
Cos now I know that you were never there

I’m wanting to go now
But you trying to stay
So little to show now
Cos there’s nothing you could ever say
To make me face another day

The Ruby Tears

The Ruby Tears started life as an entirely online collaboration. March 2020, we found ourselves at home and with plenty of time. We decided to write and record an album. We have since written, recorded and released 20 original songs and 2 cover versions and there are more in the pipeline. Our influences have come from the late 60s, 70s rock, New Wave and 80s Post Punk. Check it out!!! ... more
