It's time to come to dinner
When you're all dressed up
The nurse tells her
She just sighs and walks away
And time can move so slow
As Ruby watches all the others
Some days sure are lonely days
With nowhere to go
She's watching and waiting but nobody comes
When you're all dressed up
Watching and waiting but nobody comes
She's all dressed up in her best hat and gloves
Leaving with their families
With nowhere to go
She's all dressed up
Some days sure are lonely days
And time can move so slow
But mostly, no one comes
Where she spends most her time
And she's been sitting in the lobby since nine
Hat and gloves
She says, she's expecting company
'Cept on the weekends
She's all dressed up in her best
But the nurse knows the truth too well
She's all dressed up
But it's almost noon on Sunday
Ruby Wilson lives in 303
They're just running late
