kerry livgren
Quite different from their ordinary song material, progressive rock group "Kansas" featuring songwriter Kerry Livgren had a small hit with this song in 1977. Due to its pleasant melody and simple, still beautiful lyrics, it's been covered by many artists: among them Scorpions, Simon & Garfunkel and Sarah Brightman.
I close my eyes
only for a moment and the moment's gone
all my dreams
pass before my eyes in curiosity
same old song
just a drop of water in an endless sea
all we do
crumbles to the ground though we refuse to see
don't hang on
nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky
it slips away
and all your money won't another minute buy
dust in the wind
all they are is dust in the wind
