From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: Single by Kansas from the album Point of Know Return Released January 16, 1978 Recorded June--July 1977 "Dust in the Wind" Lyrics: 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 Don't hang on, nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky It slips away, all your money won't another minute buy Dust in the wind, All we are is dust in the wind
