Summer, Highland Falls Lyrics - Indigo Girls

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

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

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
