Take The Ashes And Run Lyrics - Jerry Leger

TAKE THE ASHES AND RUN (Leger) 

Up that hill where the school house stood 

Bunch of rubble and rotted wood 

And the warm glow from a morning sun 

Take the ashes and run 

All these ships bound to disappear 

Wasted words and wasted years 

Wish I could find my darling one 

Take the ashes and run 

Today the funeral 

Tomorrow the trial 

You lose some truth every hundred miles 

And you lose an old friend 

To the city gun 

Take the ashes and run
