When I'm gone, I will be ruthlessly gone
Ruth must stay
Such unloved dear, and so in need of love
Delicate orchid, no hands to look after you
Curve of a serene river, no bow to sail with
And so many roadsides, no man to settle down with
What I've done is too little
But it's mine, and I'll take it
I'm leaving many enemies behind
Because I've always been righteous
I've warmed, on this chest, many crying faces
Dear of mine, for how long will you remember me?
When I'm gone, I will be ruthlessly gone
Ruth must stay
