| Latter Days What a beautiful piece of heartache this has all turned out to be Load 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 |
