"All Things in Due Time" lyrics

Like a lost apparition
You were there in the distance
And the church bells were ringing in the dusk

And that song you were singing
Stuck itself beneath my skin and
I've been searching ever since for what it was

And I ain't no big believer
But I do the best I can here
At the altar of the evergreen August
At the altar of the evergreen August

Cause it's ashes to ashes
Dust to dust
All things in their due time
And I guess I ain't been here long enough
To ask for a favor, I
Know patience the virtue well enough
But I can't seem to hold on tight
Oh it's ashes to ashes
Dust to dust
All things in their due time
I guess I'll wait a while
All things in their due time
All things in their due time

And I won't be here much longer
When we're gone, so forgotten
So let me peer behind the curtain 'fore I go

Like a lost apparition
You stand there in the distance
And the church bells are ringing in the gloam
Oh the church bells are ringing in the gloam

Cause it's ashes to ashes
Dust to dust
All things in their due time
And I guess I ain't been here long enough
To ask for a favor, I
Know patience the virtue well enough
But I can't seem to hold on tight
Oh it's ashes to ashes
Dust to dust
All things in their due time

(Ooh-ooh)
All things in their due time
(Ooh-ooh)
All things in their due time
(Ooh-ooh)
All things in their due time
(Ooh-ooh)
All things in their due time
