Ashes By Now - Emmylou Harris

(Rodney Crowell)

This morning is Monday where are you now 
Teasin' my memoryteaching me howto 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 openwhen I don't want to 

The moments of pleasures Never do last 
Are gone like a suitcasefull 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 fireyou're running all over town 
As much as you burn me babyI should be ashes by now 

The second street beggarsalone in their life 
Drunk on a sidewalk to hide from the night 
Like I amThey'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 fireyou're running all over town 
As much as you burn me babyI should be ashes by now 

Just like a wild fireYou're running all over town 
As much as you burn me, babyI should be ashes by now 
Ah ah ah ah ah ahah ah ahI should be ashes by now
