Lyrics
i should wander
yet i shaln't gander far
beyond her spells enchant
as red made roses
as red made crimson morns
black makes my blood char
i know i'm ruthless
a'int the kind to see
i know i'm ruthless
ramona, ramona, ramona
storms with thee
ramona, a'int it just i dreamed?
ramona, ramona, ramona
you with me
ramona, let's not say we're bound
i know i'm ruthless
a'int the kind to free
i've been riding high
i've been riding stone alone
right out of my mind
ooh, the incantations of
the souls she’s torched to dust
by hex that had no stage
of all the evidence
of all i've ever been
was some innocence to where i belonged
by the elements i've been roaming too long
i know i'm ruthless
a'int the kind to plead
ramona, ramona, ramona
storms with thee
ramona, a'int it just like i dreamed?
ramona, ramona, ramona
you with me
ramona, let's not say we’re bound
ramona, ramona, ramona
deliver thee
ramona, a'int it like i dreamed?
ramona, ramona, ramona
you with me
ramona, ramona please
