~Hello Fine Folk of Earth
Written in 1977 by the group Kansas, "Dust In The Wind" appears on the "Point Of No Return" album. I am sure most everyone is familiar with it. Though I have been quite wrong every time I have said that. I feel it is quite an iconic song, a timeless song. I am also sure there are a gazillion versions of it uploaded to Youtube. Of course, my favorites being the more recent live recordings with accompanying string ensembles.

If you have enjoyed this song then you must thank Nez Lover @nezlover after all she was the one to suggest I cover it. Though I can not recall where or when.. Such are things ;)).
I would also like to thank Vince and Chris C. for the decades of unrelenting support, nothing occurs in a vacuum.
!!→And to everyone else, Thank you as well, to all the wonderful people throughout the community, each and every one of you are a value and bring so much positivity.
Much thanks Jeff MHH@MetalHeadHippie and Hubert Gunpowder HG- yes music is life. @hubertgunpowder

The song is quite straight forward ... such poignant words that we are all just just dust in the wind, so seize the moments.
"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 they are is dust in the wind
Same old song
Just a drop of water in an 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
Now, 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 we are is dust in the wind..
