[Verse 1: Will Oldham] It isn't always I am well For sometimes I am ailing And yet in steaming night I smile To downplay this my failing And make a noise to bury all Of your weeping and your wailing And then in bed by little light And closed off from it all I must try and bring a conscious end to night And hope that dreams begin to fall [Chorus 1: Will Oldham] The color of my dreams, they would be you...ruby Oh if I could close my eyes and bring you to me Push your head into Make you not you not you not you but me [Verse 2: Will Oldham] And then in dreams I wander free And see some things I'm meant to see And sometimes even I see thee And would the night go on and on And not tomorrow end at dawn And whatever mat I lay upon Dissolve [Chorus 2: Will Oldham] The color of my dreams, if I had dreams, they would be you...ruby Everything I do is done to bring you closer to me When you sleep your breath it blows right on through me [Bridge: Will Oldham] The color of my dreams, if I had dreams, they would be you...ruby The color of my dreams, they would be you...ruby [Outro: Will Oldham] And illness be or wellness thrive My dream proves I am yet alive
