Your memory is something that I never could seem to lose Oh, I've tried everything even Drowning your memory in *** So I finally decided to lay down And die with the pain Oh, but my heart kept on beating And softly repeating your name Ashes to ashes, dust to dust My heart and my mind know You're still here with us (spoken) When they lay me away The last words they'll speak Here lies a man that don't rest in peace God gave me your love and God knows I threw it away Oh, what I put you through Is the same Hell I'm living today Now praying don't help So dyin's the best I can do But when it's all said and done I'll still have these memories of you Ashes to ashes, dust to dust My heart and my mind know You're still here with us (spoken) When they lay me away The last words they'll speak Here lies a man that don't rest in peace Here lies a man that don't rest in peace
