OH,The street sweeper sweeps the ashes away
AND THE dust's gathered up along with the day
when your heart is broken,and loves gone bust
all that's left is ashes and dust

chorus'
ashes and dust (4 times)

the girl of your dreams has twisted and turned
the love that you gave her has been spat out and spurned
when your heart is something, you can't even trust
all that's left is ashes and dust

chorus

SO YOU SIT ALONE IN YOUR ROOM, JUST WAITING YOUR TURN
BUT LOVE'S NOT COMING, IS SOMETHING YOU LEARN
YOU'VE GOTTA GO OUT THERE, AND START MAKING A FUSS
OR ELSE YOUR LIFE IS JUST ASHES AND DUST

CHORUS (2)
