Lyrics Back In My Day - The Handsome Family

We had maps that unfolded back in my day
You could drink from the river
We had gods made of clay
There were mile-high glaciers, no locks on the doors
The stars burned brighter
We never counted past four
And the birds were always watching. There were monsters in the sea
We wore watches on our wrists
There were ghosts in the trees
Way back in the days, you′re too young to have seen,
When the nights were darker, longer and deep
There was no time or space when I was growing up
We had summer all winter
The moon rose with the sun.
And music sounded better
We recorded on rings of ice
And as the songs turned to water we couldn't help but cry
Way back in the good days, the ones you didn′t see
When everything was better, darker and deep
