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
|
