A mansion on a hill is a lovely sight to see

but like any other house it's only temporary

Home is anywhere you choose to put your heart

if there's no love inside it'll soon fall apart.



Ashes to ashes, dust into dust

buildings will crumble, bridges will rust,

mountains will disappear, rivers will dry on

And so it goes with everything but love,

so it go--es, everything but love, so it go--es.



You can drive around in a long limousine

if you don't know where you're going, you don't mean a thing

He would walk a mile just to hold an empty hand

he knows what it means to be a wealthy man.



Ashes to ashes, dust into dust

colusses will crumble, bridges will rust,

mountains will disappear, rivers will dry on

And so it goes with everything but love,

so it go--es, everything but love, so it go--es.



Wordly treasures will all pass away

there's just one thing's put here to stay



Ashes to ashes, dust into dust

kingdoms will crumble, bridges will rust,

mountains will disappear, rivers will dry on

And so it goes with everything but love,

so it go--es, everything but love,

so it go--es, everything but love,

so it go--es, everything but love.
