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 up

And so it goes with everything but love

And so it goes, with everything but love



You can drive around in a long limosine

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

He who'd walk a mile, just to hold an empty hand

Knows what it means, to be a wealthy man



Ashes to ashes, dust into dust

Buildings will crumble, bridges will rust

Mountains will disappear, rivers will dry up

And so it goes with everything but love

And so it goes, with everything but love



Worldly treasures will all pass away

There's just one thing that's put here to stay



Ashes to ashes, dust into dust

Buildings will crumble, bridges will rust

Mountains will disappear, rivers will dry up

And so it goes with everything but love

And so it goes, with everything but love
