Adams, Ryan - Ashes & Fire Lyrics






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 sail boats 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 was drifting 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,
drowned in a river of tears oh a river she cried left her with a heart... made of ashes and fire.

One day there was a silence and it washed through the town,
and there was no reason to speak so no one made a sound,
her eyes were indigo and the cats were all
Calico and the sail boats they all sailed by... and a river she cried.

With cool and silvery eyes and a heart that was fit for desire,
drowned 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.

Adams, Ryan Ashes & Fire Comments
  1. J.... D....

    siempre me trae la felicidad

  2. U.... S....

    I like this he reminds me of Gram Parsons

  3. P.... M....

    que rollazo de tema

  4. G.... D....

    he 's not that kind of artist who needs to find his own sound, hes motivated by great and true passion and iu can feel it, we will always need someone like him

  5. A.... S....

    In his defense, almost every musician emulates some other musician who has had an influence on them in one way or another. There have only been a handful of artists who have been able to transcend the styles of music of their time, and despite the fact that Ryan Adams sounds similar to other artists, he is still good lyrically and is pleasing to listen to.

  6. E.... R....

    This is an amazing song. Just for the line: "Her eyes were indigo, the cats were all calico, and the sailboats, they all sailed by, in the river she cried."

  7. p.... ....

    Almost every song I hear written by this guy sounds just like another song from the past. I know there is "nothing new under the sun", yet it is like Adams listens to a song and changes it just enough. He puts new lyrics to it and "oui, là". I have listened to Ryan Adams since Whiskeytown days and he is a good performer, yet............list to Bob Dylan and you will find the song this one mirrors. He would defend his music with the word "homage", but he never found his own sound.

    p.... ....

    You sound like an absolute idiot who has no idea about music especially Ryan Adams. He has his own sound completely. Just because he has a guitar doesn't means he's ripping off Bob Dylan. Stop listening to him if you think all his songs are just rip offs. Loser

    p.... ....

    Every song written is borrowed from the blues.

    p.... ....

    Yeah I love how classical music is borrowed from the blues

  8. S.... ....

    S.... ....
