Ruined Lady
Reisa L Gerber

Here is my song, so sad and blue
Here is my song, sad and true
Ruined Lady am I
Ruined Lady am I

Here are the blues I sing to you
Here is the" love" I bring to you-
Ruined Lady am I,
And I wish you'd "Oh, you know, drop dead..."
Or something angry!

Refrain:
But later on, in the deep of the evening,
Oh, yeah, much later on,
In the alone of my time,
I need someone to hear me,
Yeah, I need your lovelight near me-
Won't you come back?  Oh lady, come back.
Oh, lady, come back, come back to me!
Cast your lies out on a windy day
Cast your lies out on a sail to the sea
Cast your lies out on a windy day
Cast your lies out on a sail to the sea!

I cannot live with lies of mine
I cannot bear these eyes of thine,
Ruined Lady am I, Ruined Lady am I
Eyes that will search my soul right through
These souls will haunt me my whole life through-
Ruined lady am I, an I wis you'd....
"Oh, drop dead" or something!

Whatever
