Ashes and Dust

My skin and bone are grains of sand My heart like sculpted clay Beautifully held in your hands Molded and shaped by the love we made I'm only ashes and dust I'm just the work of the hands that made me I'm the breath you gave and took away I'm merely salt of the Earth I'm the remains of a flame that burned I'm all that's left of our love I'm only ashes and dust The cosmos listened when you spoke With just your kiss the sun could set But my whole world went up in smoke Ain't been no daylight since you left I'm only ashes and dust I'm just the work of the hands that made me I'm the breath you gave and took away I'm merely salt of the Earth I'm the remains of a flame that burned I'm all that's left of our love I'm only ashes and dust The bible says God created Eve from Adam's flesh But there's no life beating in my chest Ain't been living since you left I'm only ashes and dust I'm just the work of the hands that made me I'm the breath you gave and took away I'm merely salt of the Earth I'm the remains of a flame that burned I'm all that's left of our love I'm only ashes and dust
