Rubies
i held you
in my darkness
i got caught in shadows
and got torn apart
i rebuilt myself
as some kind of skyscraper
i need you
now we keep it together
next week is fine
next Saturday is the time
the time we travel
and see where these feelings lead
i feel you in gold
rubies and stories never told
i am here
James Garratt – October 1999
