Ashley Lyrics

Little Ashley, if you're coming around tonight

All I'm asking is that you glance into my eyes

As you pass me by

You know I'm trouble

But trouble comes with being born

And I'll be subtle

As I slip out the back door

But what good is it for

Would you even know my face

If I showed you it again

And I can hardly taste

The salt from off your skin

And the ocean will grow

And the tide will wet my toes

I will try to stay afloat

And who knows

We may meet again

Little Ashley

You know I can't go down that way

And I'd be a better man

But I never had the guts to stay

Another day

It's hard to keep my chin up

Cause it's hard to stare into the sun

And I swore that I'd come get ya

But who could have known

What I could have done

With an honest tongue

Would you even know my face

If I showed you it again

And I can hardly taste

The salt from off your skin

And the ocean will grow

And the tide will wet my toes

I will try to stay afloat

And who knows

We may meet again
