Ashes By Now
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
morning is Monday Where are you now?
Teasin' my memory Teaching me how to lay low when I don't want to
Your love is elusive this I know now It's making me crazy Leaving me out
In the open When I don't want to
I don't know why you do that to me (really low, soft volumn) go to lead
The moments of pleasures Never do last
Are gone like a suitcase full of your past Long gone, and in a hurry
CHORUS:
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
The second street beggars alone in they life
Drunk on a sidewalk to hide from the night
Like I am They're just like I am
chorus
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 : Aaaaaahh Aaaaaahh Should be ashes by now
