Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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, they were swallowed in the lights
As cars rumbled by in the night
Screaming run for your life
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
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 sail boats they all sailed by
And a river she cried
[Verse 5]
With cool and silvery eyes
And a heart that was fit or desire
Drowned in a river of tears, oh a river she cried left her with a heart
Made of ashes and fire
[Verse 6]
Ashes and fire
Ashes and fire
Ashes and fire
