She would never say

Where she came from

Yesterday don't matter

'Cause it's gone



While the sun is bright

Or in the darkest night

No-one knows

She comes and then she goes



Goodbye, ruby tuesday

Who is gonna hang that name on you?

And when you change with every new day

Still I'm gonna miss you



Don't ask her why

She needs to be free

She is gonna 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

But, oh, such a cost



Goodbye, ruby tuesday

Who is gonna hang that name on you?

And when you change with every new day

Still I'm gonna miss you



Oh, there's no time to lose

I heard her say

You gotta catch your dreams

Before they run away



Dying all the time

Lose your dreams and you

Might lose your mind

Is life unkind?



Goodbye, ruby tuesday

Who is gonna hang that name on you?

And when you change with every new day

Still I'm gonna miss you



Goodbye, ruby tuesday

Who is gonna hang that name on you?

And when you change with every new day

Still I'm gonna miss you



Goodbye, ruby tuesday ...
