《Dust in the Wind》的詞曲作者是Kris Kristofferson和Waylon Jennings。歌詞如下:
Verse 1:
We were two lost souls livin' in the same space
But never really knowin' each other's face
And we both said we were searchin' for a way
To find ourselves and set ourselves free
Chorus:
But the dust in the wind won't let you down
And it's been a long, long time
Since I've seen you with your head held up so high
And I guess that's just the way it goes
Verse 2:
And we both fell into the river of disguise
And drowned in our own confusion and lies
But I always knew that I would miss you more
Every time I heard a song that you used to know
Bridge:
I was so young then, I didn't know what to do
I couldn't let go, I couldn't let go
But now, as I watch you drift away
I feel like I'm holdin' on to sand
Chorus:
But the dust in the wind won't let you down
And it's been a long, long time
Since I've seen you with your head held up so high
And I guess that's just the way it goes
Outro:
And I guess that's just the way it goes
