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 So 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 Woah oh, ashes to ashes, dust to dust
