Ashes By Now Lyrics

(Rodney Crowell)
(Track 7 - Time 4:11)

This morning is Monday, where are you now
Teasing my memory, teaching me how to lay low
When I don't want to

Your love is elusive, this I know now
It's makin' me crazy, leaving me out in the open
When I don't want to

Baby, I can't go through this again
I don't need to go down, more than I've already been
Just like a wildfire, you're running all over town
As much as you burn me baby
I should be ashes by now

The moments of pleasure just never do last
They're 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 than I've already been
Just like a wildfire, you're running all over town
As much as you burn me baby
I should be ashes by now

You're running all over town
As much as you burn me baby
I should be ashes by now

Just like a wildfire, you're running all over town
As much as you burn me baby
I should be ashes by now
As much as you burn me baby
I should be ashes by now
Ohhh ashes by now
Ohhh ashes by now
As much as you burn me baby
I should be ashes by now
