Dust 

Though she’s ashen gray

Her fire has not gone away,

I see embers in her eyes

As her fire slowly dies

Every loving tear

Is another silent prayer

Hoping she breathes in

I try to keep from breakin’

 

God give me the strength if I must

Watch her turn to stone before she turns to dust

 

She’s always been my rock,

But the hourglass sands still drop

Every minute I’m more alone

As she slowly turns to stone

Dark bleeds into my life

As I lose her lovely light

Lord, I never thought

I’d ever feel this lost

 

God give me the strength if I must

Watch her turn to stone before she turns to dust

 

I know God understands

God holds us with caring hands

 

God give me the strength if I must

Watch her turn to stone before she turns to dust
