Aces Over Eights Lyrics by The Choir

Deep Cuts

2021

[Verse 1]
Everybody gets a rough ride
We get caught in the riptide
The force of the moon
Won't be denied
We've got earthquakes and monsoons
Holes in our pontoons
Yeah, we're all going down
I just hope not soon

[Chorus]
We might have been ashes to ashes
Dust to dust by now
On the wind, out the gate
Disintegrating underground
We might have been dealt a dead man's hand
We lost one brother in the band
We might have been ashes to ashes
Dust to dust by now

[Verse 2]
There are dangers only fools ignore
On the ocean in a thunderstorm
We've got true hearts beating
And we're swimming to shore
No, I don't always do my best
Yes, I know you've been a witness
Still you rescued me
In the way of forgiveness

[Chorus]
We might have been ashes to ashes
Dust to dust by now
On the wind, out the gate
Disintegrating underground
We might have been dealt a dead man's hand
We lost one brother in the band
We might have been ashes to ashes
Dust to dust by now

[Spoken]
"I remember a mighty man
Strong as an oak
He said, You know me
I'll be the last man standing
I never knew him to be faint of heart
He was wearing his time-weathered
Black leather jacket
Leo found him lying flat on his back
He said, I'm just looking at the stars
I'm just looking at the stars"

[Bridge]
So many reasons to live
So many good gifts to give
Every sunset is grace
Every sunrise redemptive

[Chorus]
We might have been ashes to ashes
Dust to dust by now
On the wind, out the gate
Disintegrating underground
We might have been dealt a dead man's hand
We lost one brother in the band
We might have been ashes to ashes
Dust to dust by now
