Lyrics Ruby Waves - Trey Anastasio, Ghosts of the Forest

Ruby Waves

Blue morning, walking down the street
Hear the rhythm from the soles of my feet
On the pavement, and I reach out my hands
And touch the building that’s beside me
And I look into the air up above my head
Thin layer of clouds and the open sky
All the stars are handles on doors
If I could touch 'em with my fingers they would open up
And a sea of love, ruby waves would pour down on my head
An ocean of love would carry me up from this prison of lies
If I could touch the stars with my fingertips, the doors would open all around
me
Could escape from this prison of lies and swim in the ocean up above my head
When I die I’ll turn into a tiny ball of energy
And I’ll go flipping and floating up into the sky
And bounce off the stars like a pinball machine, look around
All the lights on the machine are flashing
'Til they explode and the particles join up with…
A sea of love, ruby waves pourin' down on my head
An ocean of love would carry me up from this prison of lies
If I could touch the stars with my fingertips, the doors would open all around
me
Could escape from this prison of lies
Could escape from this prison of lies
