Taken for granted right from the start
A perfect angel is what she was
She ran away from me with all her things and sailed across the world
Always searching for things that never were
A plan I was never party to
Greener pastures you were searching for that never included me
All of a sudden years have passed
She never found that greener grass
In the woods she left me like the tin man without his oil can
Looking back at times that passed
I should have seen it coming fast
She’d be gone without a trace
Fading visions of her pretty face
Ruby, I miss you now and always will
And after those glory days I found my Dorothy
Once upon a time you loved me
You told me you’d take my name
Fairy tales that went down in flames
Then you sailed away, Oh so far way
Oh Ruby, I miss you now and always will
And after those glory days I found my Dorothy
