Ashes By Now Lyrics - Emmylou Harris

(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...
