Ashes By Now Lyrics

Ashes By Now lyrics

(Rodney Crowell)
  
This morning is Monday   where are you now 
Teasin` my memory  teaching me how  to lay low 
When I don`t want to 
Well love is elusive this I know now 
It`s making me crazy leaving me out 
 In the open  when I don`t want to 
  
The moments of pleasures   Never do last 
Are gone like a suitcase  full of your past 
Long gone and in a hurry 

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 

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 

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