Return to Dust Songtext
von Bob Mould

True blue star
Will you stay in my heart
Or will you fool me once again?

Time to remember and forget
The love you gave the deep regret
And in the end, return to dust
And in the end, return we must
Time to remember and forget
The love you gave the deep regret
And in the end, return to dust
And in the end, return we must

Reverse the switch, the one replayed
The turn of happiness, the pain
When I get stripped of everything
I have that plain song left to sing


What do you want to be?
Will you grow up like me?
What do I have to defend?
Where will I go in the end?

Growing old, it′s hard to be the angry young man
I turn away, I turn and walk away

The unprofane and holy word
A thought profound but never heard
With all compassion in your eyes
You cast me downward from the sky

Time to remember and forget
The love you gave the deep regret
And in the end, return to dust
And in the end, return we must

What do you want to be?
Will you grow up like me?
What do I have to defend?
Where will I go in the end?

Feeling the earth shake under my feet
What was once promised now left to be
Let go and find the silent peace
