Return Into Dust - Gordon Lightfoot

They said seek and ye shall find

All I ever find is trouble in mind

One of these days I will set myself free

Ain’t no one else who can put the bite on me

But until then I’ll do it again

They said seek and ye shall know

All I ever saw was a heaven here below or so it goes

The time meant for us like the rose

We will return to dust

They said sow and ye shall reap

All I ever saw was this dream that I can’t keep

One little wheat field yields a little grain

Rough times, tough times are all one and the same

But as for now, time don’t allow

They said search and destroy

All that you hold dear

Like the laughter you keep hearing through the years

A time meant for us, all our fears

Will return into dust

They said ask and it shall bee

All I can tell you is baby it ain’t free

One more request then I’ll be on my way

I’ll pay the price, love, start a brand new day

But until then let us be friends

They said drink and be restored

All I ever drank

Made me wind up on the floor and what is more

A mind turned to rust, that’s for sure

We will return to the dust

Through the years

A time meant for us, all our fears

Will return to dust
