Lyrics:
This town, it looks so tired Stood here a long, long time Progress took another road And left the old, their faces lined With all the cares of many years Seeing off their children with their tears Waiting to die. A tolling of the church bell A life's story to tell Of times of peace and war The sorrows and the joys. The priest harangues the living Speaks of an all-forgiving God While the immortal soul Heads for its lifetime's goal of ashes and dust. The darkened windows hide The gaze of those who tried Who struggled all their lives For some elusive prize. But now they know at last The time for struggle's past And they await their graves Knowing that their dreams were made of ashes and dust.
