(EABEBE / capo 2)

I am often amazed at the emotion that this song evokes in me when I play it for an audience. I’m not quite sure why, other than that it seems to be my little way of waving my calloused fingers at sin and death as if to say, “You’ve got nothing on me.?

Lyrics

Dust To Dust

told me there’s not much left for dying
that’s all that it would give
my life was once my enemy
now the enemy is my friend

I never saw it coming
most folks never do
but when it reached inside me
it nearly tore me in two

are you friend?
are you my brother?
are you thief?
or are you my lover?
are you myth?
are you fable?
can I come to feast at your table?
if ashes are too much,
return me dust to dust

I got my daddy’s sickness
it keeps me up most nights
I took back all my memories
since it’s stolen half my life

are you friend?
are you my brother?
are you thief?
or are you my lover?
are you myth?
are you legend?
have you come here straight from heaven?

do you rest when the battle rages?
or do you fight when I’m not able?

are you friend?
are you my brother?
are you thief?
or are you my lover?
are you myth?
are you legend?
have you come here straight from heaven?
if ashes are too much,
please return me dust to dust
