Barry McGuire — Ashes to Ashes

Wild, wild wine Fine, fine ladies singin' my song Laughin', livin', lovin', leavin' Knowin' all along I was wrong Playin' with the darkness Caught up by the day My time has come And I've got hell to pay Ashes to ashes, dust to dust Gold in the morning, evening turns to rust There is a treasure finer than gold Over and over, the story has been told I can hear you walkin' Walkin' around up over my head Hear you sayin', "he's a good ol' boy Yeah, too bad now he's dead" If you can hear my voice Here's what I say My time has come And I've got hell to pay Ashes to ashеs, dust to dust Gold in the morning, evening turns to rust Thеre is a treasure finer than gold Over and over, the story has been told I used to think that I could play The devil's game and win An' like a fool, I bet my life away But when the final trump was played I held the losing hand My time has come And I've got hell to pay Ashes to ashes, dust to dust Gold in the morning, evening turns to rust There is a treasure finer than gold Over and over, the story has been told Ashes to ashes, dust to dust Gold in the morning, evening turns to rust Ashes to ashes, dust to dust Gold in the morning, evening turns to rust...
