Indigo Girls Summer Highland Falls Lyrics

Summer Highland 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`ll argue and we`ll compromise
and realize nothing`s ever changed
for all our mutual experience our separate conclusions are the same 
now we are forced to recognize our inhumanity
reason co-exists with our insanity
and when we choose between reality and madness
it`s either sadness or euphoria

how thoughtlessly we dissipate our energies
perhaps we don`t fulfill each other`s fantasies
and as we stand upon the ledges of our lives
with our respective similarities
it`s either sadness or euphoria
oh oh oh
oh oh
oh oh
oh oh oh
