Ashes By Now
Emmylou Harris
(verse 1) This morning is Monday where are you now Teasin’ my memory teaching me how to lay low When I don’t want to (verse 2) 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 (bridge) 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 (verse 3) 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 (ending) 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 (ending chords - - - - )
