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

So it goes with everything but love

So it goes



You can drive around in a long limousine

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

Palaces will crumble, bridges will rust

Mountains will disappear, rivers will dry up

And so it goes with everything but love

So it goes with everything but love

So it goes



Worldly treasures will all pass away

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



Ashes to ashes, dust into dust

Kingdoms will crumble, bridges will rust

Mountains will disappear, rivers will dry up

And so it goes with everything but love

So it goes with everything but love

So it goes with everything but love

So it goes with everything but love
