She would never say where she came from,
yesterday don't matter if it's gone.
While the sun is bright,
or in the darkest night,
no one knows, she comes and goes.
Goodbye, Ruby Tuesday.
Who could hang a name on you
when you change with every new day?
Still I'm gonna miss you.
Don't question why she needs to be so free.
She'll tell you it's the only way to be.
She just can't be chained,
to a life where nothing's gained,
and nothing's lost, at such a cost.
Goodbye, Ruby Tuesday.
Who could hang a name on you
when you change with every new day?
Still I'm gonna miss you.
"There's no time to lose", I heard her say,
cast your dreams before they slip away.
Dying all the time,
lose your dreams and you will lose your mind.
Ain't life unkind?
Goodbye, Ruby Tuesday.
Who could hang a name on you,
when you change with every new day?
Still I'm gonna miss you.
