Ashes by Now Songtext
von Rodney Crowell

This morning is Monday
Where are you now?
Teasing 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


Baby!
I can't go through this again
I don′t need to go down
More than I′ve already been

Just like a wildfire
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 they 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 than I've already been

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


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

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah!
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah!
I should be ashes by now
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah!
