8. I close my eyes, only for a moment and the moment's gone. All my dreams pass before my eyes a curiosity. Dust in the wind, all we are is dust in the wind.
9. Same old song, just a drop of water in the endless sea. All we do, crumbles to the ground though we refuse to see. Dust in the wind, all we are is dust in the wind.
10. Now, don't hang on nothing last forever but the earth and sky it slips away. And all your money won't another minute buy.
