Ashes & Fire (Live At Carnegie Hall / 11/17/2014) - Ryan Adams

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

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
