I've never been one to believe much in ghosts
But to tell you the truth now, my mind is not closed
I've heard there are souls that are lost in between
Somewhere they're going and the places they've been

That sounds a lot like a woman I know
Her love is long gone, but she will not let go
Somebody oughtta take her by the hand and tell her

"Don't be afraid, just walk to the light
Let go of the past and get on with your life
Someone is waiting out in the night
Ashes to ashes, walk to the light"

Now I understand that some things can take time
Especially those of the heart grieving kind
But there comes a point you've got to move on ahead
Read the last rites and bury the dead

Said she can't make the journey to get past the pain
She moans in the night and she rattles her chains
Somebody oughtta take her in their arms and tell her

"Don't be afraid, just walk to the light
Let go of the past and get on with your life
Someone is waiting out in the night
Ashes to ashes, walk to the light"

Oh, don't be afraid of the choices that you made
The choices are behind you
When you give in, the healing can begin
Love is gonna find you

Don't be afraid, just walk to the light
Let go of the past and get on with your life
Someone is waiting out in the night
Ashes to ashes

Oh, oh, don't be afraid just walk to the light
Let go of the past and get on with your life
Someone is waiting out in the night
Ashes to ashes, walk to the light
Walk to the light
Walk to the light
