Thru the Eyes of Ruby

by Daisy8781@aol.com

okay, it starts out in a church.  keep in mind that all these scenes are in
colour, but are kinda foggy, almost dreamy-looking.  the little tinkling
piano part at the beginning  shows a woman pouring red wine into wine glasses
and putting them in a big pyramid formation.  the music starts and you see a
little girl, about 12, with brown hair  in a fancy wedding gown.  there are
lots of  adult women hovering around her, primping her, etc.  she looks quite
sad.  on "drag me in with maybes"  you see a lake and a boat cuts thru the
water.  a fisherman pulls up a white wedding veil on his line and looks
really puzzled by this.  cut back to the little girl:  she is still getting
primped, and on "breathing under water" you see a tear fall down her cheek
and then you see the drop fall in water.  the water is really calm, and
little white flowers bob around on the surface.  suddenly, you see the same
fishing boat as before cut thru the water and an oar comes down and churns up
all the flowers.  then a bunch of gross weeds and algae come out, stuck on
the oar.  back to the church:  the girl is getting her picture taken, but
when the picture comes out, there's only a dress--the place where her face
should be is all whited-out. (this is on "to appear to disappear")  then you
see her walking down the aisle, still really sad.  everyone in the crowd is
wearing white, including billy, james, and d'arcy, who are also watching.  a
little boy, also about 12, is waiting at the altar in a white suit.  "with
this ring i wed thee true" --boy slips ring on girl's finger, and on "with
this ring i play so dead"  he lifts up her veil to kiss her.  "no one's
asking for the truth"---she pushes him away and runs down the aisle and out
of the church.  she is running away, and everyone in the church stands
up--they're really alarmed.  the little boy goes running after her, knocks
over the pyramid of wine glasses, and all the red wine soaks into his nice
white suit.  you then see the girl running thru some trees or a field or
something, and she finally comes to a lake.  the music is softer now, and
rain starts to fall.  the drops turn dark red when they hit her dress.  she
wades out into the lake, and you see clips of her picking the petals off her
bouquet.  finally, on "youth is wasted on the young!" she collapses into the
water, kinda sinking/drowning.   then you see the little boy again---he's
running out into the street, and the rain is falling.  but the drops hit his
red wine-stained suit and make the suit turn white again.  you see him
kneeling at the lake, clutching part of the girl's dress, then on "why?"  he
looks up at the sky (asking ' why?' )  then he throws the dress aside and
jumps into the water, thrashing around for the girl.  now comes the "the
night has come to hold us young" part.  you see the pumpkins playing their
instruments in a room, then it cuts to the boy pulling the girl up from under
the water.  cut back to the pumpkins playing, then the girl and boy fighting
in the water.  now you see some little kids playing instruments in the same
room and wearing the same clothes as the pumpkins.  back to the girl and boy
thrashing around.  cut to little kids. girl pushes boy away. cut to real
pumpkins singing.  then you see the fisherman pull up and grab the boy out of
the water.  the little girl is gone.  the music softens, and you see the boy
crying, looking really sad and tired in the boat with the fisherman.  then
you see waves washing up on the shore and you see part of the girl's veil,
this time it's black.  the camera zooms out a bit and you see really calm
water, little black flowers bobbing around, and some bubbles rise up to the
surface.  the end.
