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
