those final feet

place my body on the funeral pyre

cut it loose to float downstream

leave it frozen on a mountain top

suspend it high to be picked clean

you said never to grow old

but you forgot to tell me how

you said never to grow old

and then you sank your teeth into those final feet

last night i dreamt of owls at my window

i knew that time was winding down

turned to tell you of my premonition

changed my mind and lay back down

you said never to grow old

but you forgot to tell me how

you said never to grow old

and then you sank your teeth into those final feet

no sense wasting the time you got

you got to walk down every road

no sense pretending that you're what you're not

when you got to shoulder every load

you said never to grow old

but you forgot to tell me how

you said never to grow old

and then you sank your teeth into those final feet

cut it loose

cut it loose

cut it loose

you said never to grow old

but you forgot to tell me how

you said never to grow old

and then you sank your teeth into those final feet
