(Goodbye) Ruby Friday

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 Friday,
Who could hang an age on you?
When you change with every new day,
Still I’m gonna miss you.

Don’t question why I need to be so free.
I’ll tell you it’s the only way to be.
I just can’t be chained
To a life where nothing’s gained
And all is lost, at such a cost.

Goodbye Ruby Friday,
Who could hang an age on you?
When you change with every new day,
Still I’m gonna miss you.

“There’s no time to lose”, they heard me say.
“Seal her lips before she gives me away”.
Lying all the time,
She won’t be contented with a dime.
(Ain’t life unkind)?

Goodbye Ruby Friday,
Who could hang an age on you?
When you change with every new day.
Still I’m gonna miss you.
