Ashes & Fire Lyrics & Tabs by Ryan Adams
Ashes & Fire
guitar chords lyrics
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
One day there was a silence and it washed through the town
There was no reason to speak and no one made a sound
Her eyes were indigo and the cats was all calico
One day there was a silence and it washed through the town
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
Ashes & fire
Ashes & fire
Ashes & fire
