Gems And Rubies Lyrics

Everyone gets paid and I get paid on time
Split the cash four ways and I spend what’s mine
At the end of a day I’m wondering what the hell I do
I’ve been singing songs to you

Maybe what they need is my tender song
How I long to touch their hearts, send their hearts along
Will I sing in anger, sing another broken tune
Like I’m often prone to do

It’s all I knew how
All I ever wanted anyhow
It’s all I know how to do

Will I sing to condemn the present times
Like souls still fighting for their lives
And learn to [???] back then I thought we knew
Guess we never really do

Sure as the evening fell and our hearts went down
I will surely fall back into myself
Gems and rubies out my mouth
I never knew all these things I had for you

It’s all I knew how
All I ever wanted anyhow
It’s all I know how to do
