Heather Nova - Ruby Red lyrics

I've got a ruby red desire Like a virus like my last hope I've got a ruby red desire I've got to hear the red bird sing I've got to rip this cord And rinse this lazy blood Clear a path and walk away [Chorus] I've been waiting for the sky to fall I've been thinking I could lose it all I've been waiting for the safety net Tell myself that I'm not ready yet And every memory's a dream And each uncertainty reminds me why I saw a kid outside playing by a moongate Making paper things that fly I've been waiting for the sky to fall I've been worried I could lose it all I've been waiting for the safety net Tell myself that I'm not ready yet I want to live I want to live I want to live
