Our heads are hanging low
And our hearts at half mast

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

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
