Anna Rubyanne Songtext
von Malcolm Holcombe

There′s good money in construction for a Garrison man
But a heart in destruction won't mend in the wind
I saw him on a crosswalk lookin′ hard led
Walkin' cold wet steel for Anna Rubyanne

I can hear the soft words slippin' out from under his tongue
But they ain′t fixin′ nothin' hurtin′ worse in the sun
I reckon he's just buildin′ time matter over mind
And walkin' cold wet steel for Anna Rubyanne, Anna Rubyanne

Below the sirens screamin′
The mornin' whistle moans
Letters come with a warnin' I know
Garrison knows

I feel my eyes grow weaker every time around
I′ve taken all my chances givin′ way to other sounds
Garrison's far from solid ground but closer where I am
Walkin′ cold wet steel for Anna Rubyanne, Anna Rubyanne


Below the sirens screamin'
The mornin′ whistle moans
Letters come with a warnin' I know
Garrison knows

A woman′s in a mission with children abreast
But harder times are written down for distance to bend
Garrison fell dead a long ways back when
Walkin' cold wet steel for Anna Rubyanne, Anna Rubyanne

Below the sirens screamin'
The mornin′ whistle moans
Letters come with a warnin′ I know
Garrison knows

Below the sirens screamin'
The mornin′ whistle moans
Letters come with a warnin' I know
Garrison knows
