A Handful Of Dust lyrics

[Verse 1]
Break us down by our elements
And you might think He failed
We're not copper for one penny or
Even iron for one nail

[Pre-Chorus]
And a dollar would be plenty to buy twenty of us
Until true love is added to these handfuls of dust

[Chorus]
Handful of dust, handful of dust
Sums up the richest and the poorest of us
True love makes priceless the worthless
Whenever it's added to a handful of dust

[Verse 2]
However small though our worth may be
When shared between two hearts
Is even more than it would ever be
Measured on its own, apart

[Pre-Chorus]
And our half what it could be is now twice what it was
When true love is added to these handfuls of dust
[Chorus]
Handful of dust, handful of dust
Sums up the richest and the poorest of us
True love makes priceless the worthless
Whenever it's added to a handful of dust
Handful of dust, handful of dust
Sums up the richest and the poorest of us
True love makes priceless the worthless
Whenever it's added to a handful of dust
