Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Who in this world is a woman gonna trust?
Your wheel of life keeps turnin' while your carriage turns to rust
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust

Once I had a lover; once I had a friend
Till they met each other and my world came to an end
They walked away together and I woke up all alone
With tears that fall like raindrops and a harvest turned to stone

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Who in this world is a woman gonna trust?
You hunger for a banquet but you're left without a crust
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust

Nothin' lasts forever; there's a curtain for each play
And all that we can depend on is a day we call today
If you have a lover, and if you have a friend
You better keep them from each other 'cause you know how it may end

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Tell me, who in this world is a woman gonna trust?
Your wheel of life keeps turnin' while your carriage turns to rust
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Oh, ashes to ashes, dust to dust

Ashes to ashes
