about

Written for a made-for-TV movie in LA years ago

lyrics

Little sister don’t you cry
Don’t you think I understand the questions in your eye
Believe me when I say it’s all right
For you to sit home alone on a Friday night

Little sister don’t get distressed
It ain’t no sin for you to think a little different from the rest
It’s a blessing just to be alive
And that’s a lesson you’ll learn in your own sweet time

I love you for the girl you are, not the girl you’d like to be
Why won’t you talk to me? Why won’t you talk to me?

Little sister you just don’t see
You owe it to the world to be the very best that you can be
It’s a pleasure to become yourself
‘Cause it’s so much better than being somebody else

Open up your frozen doors, let the wind blow through your room
Because you’re really very lovely, Ruby Moon
You’re really very lovely, Ruby Moon

Little sister you ain’t no fool
Even though I know you think you waste your time in school
You’re alone but Ruby that’s OK
Just remember somebody’s gonna reach you someday

Such a rare and precious jewel, it’s a joy to watch you bloom
Because you’re really very lovely Ruby Moon
Because you’re really very lovely Ruby Moon

But rather than try to label the sound—because everybody has a different idea (Americana/roots/urban folk pop/indie acoustic), I just go for three qualities in my music: it’s rhythmic, melodic and memorable. ... more
