Analysis of Blood-Red Ruby
Kevin Anderson 1965 (Ill)
You're precious and valuable to me alone, you're my Blood-Red Ruby and
Stone
We have wandered near and far living a lifetime searching the world over for a bone
Bone of my bone and the flesh was mended.
Our paths merged alone the way and our agendas were amended
One path is ours now and we no longer wander and quander
You're worth more than Rubies; I've locked your love in my heart and I've swallowed the keys
You’re more precious than Blood-Red Rubies to me
King James Version
15 She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her.
King James Version
10 Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.
