Billy Joel Summer Highlands Falls Lyrics

Summer Highlands Falls Lyrics

They say that these are not the best of times,

But they're the only times
I've ever known,

And I believe there is a time for meditation in
cathedrals of our own.

Now I have seen that sad surrender in my lover's
eyes,

And I can only stand apart and sympathize.



For we are
always what our situations hand us...

It's either sadness or euphoria.

And so we argue and we compromise,

and realize that nothing's ever
changed,

For all our mutual experience, our seperate conclusions are the
same.



Now we are forced to recognize our inhumanity,

Our
reason co-exists with our insanity.

And though we choose between reality
and madness...

It's either sadness or euphoria.



How
thooughtlessly we dissipate our energies

Perhaps we don't fulfill each
other's fantasies.

And so we'll stand upon the ledges of our lives,

With our respective similarities...

It's either sadness or euphoria.
