[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
[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
[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 spinning in the house where you grew up
You in your childhood bed And the wildest dream you ever had
[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
[ Anaïs Mitchell & Justin Vernon] How high do you? How high do you?
[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
