Indigo Girls - 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
