History Of Us Lyrics - Indigo Girls - Indigo Girls

i went all the way to paris to forget your face 

captured in stained glass, young lives long since passed 

statues of lovers every place 

i went all across the continent to relieve this restless love 

i walked through the ruins, icons of glory 

smashed by the bombs from above 

so we must love while these moments are still called today 

take part in the pain of this passion play 

stretching our youth as we must, until we are ashes to dust 

until time makes history of us

jeu de paume's full of faces knowing peace, knowing strife 

leisure and toil, still it's canvas and oil 

there's just no medium for life 

in the midst of the rubble i felt a sense of rebirth 

in a dusty cathedral the living god called 

and i prayed for my life here on earth 

so we must love while these moments are still called today 

take part in the pain of this passion play 

stretching our youth as we must, until we are ashes to dust 

until time makes history of us 

there are mountains in switzerland, brilliant cold as they stand 

from my hotel room, watching the half-moon 

bleeding its light like a lamb 

and the town is illumined, its tiny figures are fast asleep 

and it dawns on me the time is upon me 

to return to the flock i must keep

so we must love while these moments are still called today 

take part in the pain of this passion play 

stretching our youth as we must, until we are ashes to dust 

until time makes history of us
