• Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, their golden dreams will slowly rust
    Dancing with the melody of lifeless decay, wishing they weren't so far away
    Close the prayer book and take your cross, don't forget to mourn for your loss
    That maiden with the rosy red lips, that maiden you've always wanted to kiss

    She's been taken away, time and time again, always forgetting to say amen
    Prayers and dreams can't save her now, repentance and love don't know how
    Hide that unsent letter under your pillow, leave it for the eyes of the weeping willow
    And remember that true love was always there, lust and love is a nightmare

    But if she were here, you would hold her tight, that loving angel adorned in white
    Pray to the Lord that he will protect her, you'd hold her close if it were
    But it's not, and never will be again, you'd be right beside her then
    Just hold that unsent letter close, and remember that you loved her the most
