Our heads are hanging low
And our hearts at half mast
Ever since the day
They took you with it when it passed

Ashes to ashes
And dust to dust
We let go
Because we must

And where does it
Take you when it goes?
No one really knows, it's
Anybody's guess

Some folks say
It's where the wind blows, and
Where the sea flows
And the sun sets

But here we go
On with the livin'
And try to match the love we give
With the love that we've been given

Ashes to ashes
And dust to dust
We let go
Because we must

And days pass
And nights continue to fall
Time moves ahead with it
Like nothing at all

But at some turn
We reach the final page
When we die too young, or
Of old age

Ashes to ashes
And dust to dust
We let go
Because we must
