Ashes By Now Lyrics

Rodney Crowell Ashes By Now

This morning is Monday
Where are you now?
Teasin' my memory
Teaching me how
to lay low
when I don't want to

Your love is elusive
This I know now
It's making me crazy
Leaving me out
In the open
When I don't want to

I don't know why
you do that to me

The moments of pleasures
Never do last
Are gone like a suitcase
full of your past
Long gone, and in a hurry

CHORUS:
Baby, I can't go through this again
I don't need to go down
More then I've already been
Just like a wild fire
You're running all over town
As much as you burn me, baby
I should be ashes by now

The second street beggars
alone in their life
Drunk on a sidewalk
to hide from the night
Like I am
They're just like I am

(Chorus)

Just like a wild fire
You're running all over town
And as much as you burn me, baby
I should be ashes by now

Aaaaaahh
Aaaaaahh
Should be ashes by now
Aaaaaahh
