Lyrics Those Final Feet - Cowboy Junkies

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
