She would never say
Where she came from
Yesterday don't matter
'Cause it's gone

While the sun is bright
Or in the darkest night
No-one knows
She comes and then she goes

Goodbye, ruby tuesday
Who is gonna hang that name on you?
And when you change with every new day
Still I'm gonna miss you

Don't ask her why
She needs to be free
She is gonna tell you
It's the only way to be

She just can't be chained
To a life where nothing's gained
And nothing's lost
But, oh, such a cost

Goodbye, ruby tuesday
Who is gonna hang that name on you?
And when you change with every new day
Still I'm gonna miss you

Oh, there's no time to lose
I heard her say
You gotta catch your dreams
Before they run away

Dying all the time
Lose your dreams and you
Might lose your mind
Is life unkind?

Goodbye, ruby tuesday
Who is gonna hang that name on you?
And when you change with every new day
Still I'm gonna miss you

Goodbye, ruby tuesday
Who is gonna hang that name on you?
And when you change with every new day
Still I'm gonna miss you

Goodbye, ruby tuesday
