Ashes and Fire (Live In Cork)
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 Pine
The windows broke out and the cigarette smoke wandered by
The bums on the bowery, they were swallowed in the lights
As cars rumbled by in the night
Screamin', "Run for your life"
With cool and silvery eyes
And her heart, it was fit for desires
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 were all calico
And the sailboats they all sailed by
And a river she cried
With cool and silvery eyes
And her heart, it was fit for desires
Drown in a river of tears, oh, a river she cried
Left her with her heart
Made of ashes and fire
Ashes and fire
Ashes and fire
Ashes and 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 Pine
The windows broke out and the cigarette smoke wandered by
The bums on the bowery, they were swallowed in the lights
As cars rumbled by in the night
Screamin', "Run for your life"
With cool and silvery eyes
And her heart, it was fit for desires
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 were all calico
And the sailboats they all sailed by
And a river she cried
With cool and silvery eyes
And her heart, it was fit for desires
Drown in a river of tears, oh, a river she cried
Left her with her heart
Made of ashes and fire
Ashes and fire
Ashes and fire
Ashes and fire
