lyrics

ASH IS TO ASHES

Ash is to ashes
as I am to fire.
I am burning up with fever
of the heart's desire.

Ash is to ashes
as I am to life,
scattered in the beach breeze
when my soul is ripe.
My soul is ripe.

But I can only imagine
a pageant of thoughts,
all the familiar mistakes
we love and make love to make
love and make love to make.

Ash is to ashes
as I am to pines.
She gets up early in the morning,
I stay up all night.

Ash is to ashes
as I am to sin.
I'm in if you're in.
Let's see how much trouble we can get in.

But I can only imagine
a pageant of thoughts,
all the familiar mistakes
we love and make love to make.

Ash is to ashes
as I am to blame.
I got your picture in my pocket,
but it's not the same.

Ash is to ashes
as I am to trust.
What's done is done, honey,
let the dust be dust.
