Текст песни Ruthie Mae - Percy Mayfield

Ruthie Mae

I would like to write a song about the moonlight\nBut I know I’ll have to write the way I feel\nHow can I say the moon is bright\nWhen you’re not with me at night?\nAnd to me, the moon beings are not real\nI would like to tell just why the stars are shining\nAnd just why they decorate the Milky Way\nHow can I write about the stars\nWhen it’s cloudy in my heart?\nAnd all my thoughts are on my darling Ruthie Mae\nLike the web that’s in water\nLike the dawn that’s in day\nYou’re in my veins, that you remain that way, that way\nNow it seems that all my songs are filled with sadness\nFor the sadness in my heart is here to stay\nI know I’ll never write a tune about the stars and about the moon\nUntil you return, my darling Ruthie Mae\nLike the web that’s in water\nLike the dawn that’s in day\nYou’re in my veins, that you remain that way, that way\nNow it seems that all my songs are filled with sadness\nFor the sadness in my heart is here to stay\nI know I’ll never write a tune about the stars and about the moon\nUntil you return, my darling Ruthie Mae\nUntil you return, my darling Ruthie Mae
