50 AMP VISION QUEST

Lyrics

The Ashes Fall From The Flame...written by John Jump

A man, a woman. Two nomads on the run in three quarter time. Both with nothing to lose and nothing to win. Their paths meet in a small crossroads town on the high plains. Passion ignites a fire that burns hot and fast.
The outcome cannot be good.


Many’s the day I bide my time wishin’ you were here.
All alone in this room of stone stringin’ my days along,
Wishin’ I hadn’t gone wrong.

I had the world in the palm of my hand, I had the girl of my dreams.
Workin’ by day, lovin’ by night, till I threw it all away.
Now the ashes fall from the flame.

You and me were two of a kind, livin’ outside the law.
A two dollar game in a two-bit town, the deal has done gone down.
And the ashes fall from the flame.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Chorus:
I made my deal with the devil and blue steel
I rolled like a tumbleweed.
Over endless plains on rusted trains,
I’m a man without a home,
While the ashes fall from the flame.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Long dark hair, blue laughing eyes, and a smile that could melt the snow.
Where are you now? No one knows
As the ashes fall from the flame.
As the ashes fall from the flame.

Yeah, I bet high on my queen of hearts, but this one-eyed jack lost the deal.
I buried your man in the hot desert sand
While the ashes fell from the flame.
While the ashes fell from the flame.

Many’s the day I bide my time wishin’ you were here.
All alone in this room of stone stringin’ my days along
Wishin’ I hadn’t gone wrong.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Chorus:
I made my deal with the devil and blue steel
I rolled like a tumbleweed.
Over endless plains on rusted trains,
I’m a man without a home,
As the ashes fall from the flame.
