The Last Word by Reb Fountain Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There was a boy who spoke in song
His only words were stolen from
Poets' drunken tongues
Last breath and fleeting hums
The last word
The last word

[Chorus]
The last words
The last word
The last words
The last word

[Verse 2]
He lies on my legs like a bear on a limb
Warm mouth against my thighs
Fur makes the best second skin when you're old
The last words he spoke ‘fore he died

[Chorus]
The last words
The last word
The last words
The last word
[Verse 3]
Up on the mount, you can see where I live
There is nothing to save me from the sea
We swam, we are seals, our skin thick as thieves
You promised me you'd never leave

[Chorus]
The last words
The last word
The last words
The last word

[Verse 4]
My demons are all put to bed, so we rest
Pieces of bones in the ground
The things that we need are never there
When it's dark, the louder the sound

[Chorus]
The last words
The last word
The last words
The last word
