Ashes By Now Lyrics By 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

    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 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

    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
