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 pa** 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
