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
