Rubies And Gold

Tori Amos · Other Songs - Tori Amos

Rubies and gold

Star of my moonlight

Warmer then roses in spring

The kingdoms were sold

To hold their beauty, well

I'd sell my life anyway

Just to say I held their heart in my arms

There's strength in my soul



Rubies and gold

Are you to me

You're a jewel upon my chest

Warming my heart with your kisses,

A peaceful way to rest

Fulfilling my life long wishes



And silently you're watching me

Stroking my cheek with your hand

Your eyes are deep yet filled with tears

I've never seen so much love in a man



Rubies and gold

Star of my moonlight

Warmer than roses in spring

The kingdoms were sold

To hold their beauty, well

I'd sell my life anyway

Just to say I held their heart in my arms

There's strength in my soul



Rubies and Gold

You are to me
