Ashes & Fire Lyrics - Ashes & Fire - Ryan Adams

As he stared past the fire 

"Cause I'm gonna leave while I know his " 

Your skin smelled like black cherry blossom perfume 

And the sailboat's sail sailed by in the river she cried 

And the wind was suddenly sweeter than Roosevelt pie 

The windows broke out and the cigarette smoke drifted by 

There was bums on the bowery, they were swallowed in the lights 

As cars rolled on by in the night screamin' "run for your life." 

With cool and silvery eyes 

And a heart that was fit for desires 

Drown in a river of tears, oh a river she cried 

Left her with her heart made of ashes & fire

There was no reason to speak and no one made a sound 

Her eyes were indigo and the cats was all calico 

And the sailboat's sail sailed by and the river, she cried

With cool and silvery eyes 

And a heart, it was fit for desire 

Drown in a river of tears, oh a river she cried 

Left her with a heart made of ashes & fire
