Ashes by Now Songtext
von Emmylou Harris

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 makin' me crazy, leaving me out
In the open when I don't want to

The moments of pleasures never do last
They′re 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


Aah, aah
Aah, aah
I should be ashes by now
Aah, aah
