Once upon a time
The girl of mine came over
Just to say goodbye
I was in love with her
She was in love as well
But with someone else
Someone else

I sink into nostalgia
Again, solitude
The beginning of the end of us
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
The beginning of the end of us
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust

And one magic day
I saw her close her sad eyes
When she passed my way
Oh I loved her so
She loved me in return
It's the greatest thing I've ever learned
I've ever learned

I still follow your footsteps
The trails in the mud
The beginning of the end of us
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
The beginning of the end of us
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust

I sink into nostalgia
And deeper despair
The beginning of the end of us
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
The beginning of the end of us
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
