Jimmy Cliff - Ruby Soho lyrics

rate me

Echoes of reggae comin' through my bedroom wall

Havin' a party up next door but I'm sittin here all alone

Two lovers in the bedroom and the other starts to shout

All I got is this blank stare and that don't carry no clout at all

[Chorus:]Destination unknown

Ruby ruby ruby ruby soho

Destination unknown

Ruby ruby ruby ruby soho

He's singin and she's there to lend a hand

He's seen his name on the marquee but she will never understand

Once again he's leavin' and she's there with a tear in her eye

Embraces with a warm gesture it's time, time to say goodbye

[Chorus]

Ruby's heart ain't beatin cause she knows the feelin' is gone

She's not the only one who knew there's somethin' wrong

Her lover's in the distance as she wipes a tear from her eye

Ruby's fading out, she disappears, it's time, time to say goodbye

[Chorus]Ruby ruby ruby ruby soho

Ruby ruby ruby ruby soho

Ruby ruby ruby ruby soho

Ruby ruby ruby ruby soho

Destination unknown (Ruby ruby ruby ruby soho)

Ruby ruby ruby ruby soho

Destination unknown (Ruby ruby ruby ruby soho)

Ruby ruby ruby ruby soho
