Lyrics
My little Ruby
Referring to a person named Ruby, likely with affection
All that I wanted
Expressing desire or aspiration
To dance with you
Wanting to share a dance with Ruby
In my backyard
Describing a specific place (backyard) for the intended dance
The scars you wore
Noting visible emotional or physical marks on Ruby
They really bothered you
Implying concern or discomfort about Ruby's scars
I was happy
Feeling content or pleased
Just to know your name
Happy to have knowledge of Ruby's identity
Oh is that Ruby
Reaffirmation of Ruby's identity
Oh is she lonely
Suggesting a possibility of Ruby feeling lonely
She's looking for me
Indicating Ruby's active search for the speaker
It looks like the wind
Using wind as a metaphor for displacement of Ruby
Has blown her away
Implying Ruby's absence or disappearance due to circumstances
I guess I'll wait here
Resignation to wait for Ruby's return
Another day
Ready to wait for an extended period
My little Ruby
Repetition of affectionate address towards Ruby
All that I wanted
Expressing a recurring desire or aspiration
To paint a picture
Desiring to create an artistic representation of Ruby
Just like you
Comparing the act of painting to emulate Ruby
And hang it on my wall
Intention to display the painting prominently
You'll always be with me
Belief in maintaining Ruby's presence through the painting
Keeping secrets close
Keeping shared secrets or memories with Ruby
That we both know
Emphasizing mutual understanding or shared experiences
Oh is that Ruby
Reiteration of Ruby's identity and concern for her loneliness
Oh is she lonely
Re-emphasizing the possibility of Ruby feeling lonely
She's looking for me
Reiterating Ruby's active search for the speaker
Look's like the wind
Repeating the metaphor of wind displacing Ruby
Has blown her away
Reaffirmation of Ruby's absence or disappearance
I guess I'll wait here
Restating the speaker's readiness to wait for Ruby's return
Another day
Continued willingness to wait for an extended period
