Latter Days-Over The Rhine
i hat a beautiful piece of heartache

This has all turned out to be

Lord knows we've learned the hard way

All about healthy apathy

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 okay

They've taken a toll, these latter days

Nothing like sleeping on a bed of nails

Nothing much here but our broken dream

Oh, but baby, if all else fails

Nothing is ever quite what it seems

And I'm dying 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 okay

They've taken their toll, these latter days

They've taken their toll, these latter days

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
