Your memory is something that

I never could seem to lose

Oh, I've tried everything even

Drowning your memory in booze

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
