paroles de chanson Ashes And Fire - Live at Carnegie Hall, May 14. 2022 - Ryan Adams

As he stared past the fire
His hunger to leave, well, it gnawed his poor heart alive
Her skin smelled like black cherry blossom perfume
The sailboats they all sailed by, and a river she cried

And the wind was suddenly sweeter than Roosevelt pie
The windows broke out and the cigarette smoke drifted by
The bums on the Bowery were swallowed in the lights
As cars rumbled by in the night, screaming, "Run for your life"

With cool and silvery eyes
And a heart that was fit for desire
Drown in a river of tears, oh, a river she cried
Left her with her heart made of ashes and fire

One day there was a silence, and it washed through the town
There was no reason to speak, so no one made a sound
Her eyes were indigo and the cats was bore calico
And the sailboats they all sailed by, and a 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 and fire

Ashes and fire
Ashes and fire
Ashes and fire
