| I find myself alone again |
| And watch the window-running rain |
| A peaceful place where people smile |
| And share their lives just for a while |
| The day grows cold, my feeling too |
| And thoughts of us, but mainly you |
| What did it come to all this trust? |
| Precious metals turn to rust |
| We are dust, we are dust |
| Just lowly little satellites |
| All that we were made to be |
| We fall and seen the night |
| Dust, we are dust |
| Dust of gold and silver bright |
| Caught for a second in a shaft of light |
| As if we’ve never been |
| The weary, faceless people walking by |
| All the lowly and the down at heart |
| No point to worry what tomorrow brings |
| We’re all nothing in the scheme of things |
| Crying faces standing 'round |
| Dressed in black and placing flowers |
| What is the point of all this love? |
| Of all these hours |
| We are dust, we are dust |
| Just floating through the atmosphere |
| Like spirits from another time |
| We’re never really here |
| Dust, we are dust |
| Blown upon a gentle breeze |
| Washed away tomorrow’s rain |
| We’ll never have this time again |
| So I sit, counting down the hours |
| Watching shoots as they emerge as flowers |
| Nothing lasts 'till the end of time |
| Nothing’s yours, nothing’s mine |
| Our dreams are taken with the clouds |
| Through the ever changing sky |
| That’s goin' autumn back in spring |
| And for a while you made my heart sing |
| Dust |
| Dust, we are dust |
| Dust of gold and silver bright |
| Caught for a second in a shaft of light |
| We’ve never really been |
