Ashes By Now - 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 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 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 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

Should be ashes by now

Aah aah
