Big Red Machine - Latter Days lyrics

[Verse 1: Anaïs Mitchell] "How long?" Is what you asked "How long do you think it's gonna last?" You at the corner store You were stocking up before the storm Stacked yourself against the odds Talkin' back to an act of God You and your clever mouth You were laughing when the lights went out [Chorus: Anaïs Mitchell & Justin Vernon] I recall it all forever How it found us where we lay With our arms around each other In the latter days, in the latter days [Verse 2: Anaïs Mitchell, Anaïs Mitchell & Justin Vernon] "How high?" Is what you said "How high do you think it's gonna get?" You at the water's edge On the jetty when you were a kid Passed around a plastic cup Passed out spinnin' in the house where you grew up You in your childhood bed And the wildest dream you ever had [Chorus: Anaïs Mitchell & Justin Vernon] You recall it all forever How it found you where you lay And you called out for your brother In the latter days I recall it all forever How it found us where we lay With our arms around each other In the latter days [Bridge: Anaïs Mitchell & Justin Vernon] How high do you? How high do you? [Chorus: Anaïs Mitchell & Justin Vernon] I recall it all forever How we sheltered in our place And we called each other lovers In the latter days I recall it all forever How there was no hiding place So we called each other brothers In the latter days, in the latter days
