Latter Days — текст песни (Over The Rhine)

What a beautiful piece of heartache this has all turned out to be.
Lord knows we`ve learned the hard way all about healthy apathy.
And I use these words pretty loosely.
There`s so much more to life than words.

There is a me you would not recognize, dear. Call it the shadow of myself.
And if the music starts before I get there dance without me. You dance so gracefully.
I really think I`ll be o.k. They`ve taken their toll these latter days.

Nothin` like sleepin` on a bed of nails. Nothin` much here but our broken dreams.
Ah, but baby if all else fails, nothin` is ever quite what it seems.
And I`m dyin` inside to leave you with more than just cliches.

There is a me you would not recognize, dear. Call it the shadow of myself.
And if the music starts before I get there dance without me. You dance so gracefully.
I really think I`ll be o.k. They`ve taken their toll these latter days.

But tell them it`s real. Tell them it`s really real.
I just don`t have much left to say.
They`ve taken their toll these latter days.
They`ve taken their toll these latter days.
