Lyrics for Song: Summer, Highland Falls
Lyrics for Album: Turnstiles
They say that these are not the best of times
But theyÂ’re the only times IÂ’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 loverÂ’s eyes
And I can only stand apart and sympathize
For we are always what our situations hand us
ItÂ’s either sadness or euphoria
So weÂ’ll argue and weÂ’ll compromise
And realize that nothingÂ’s ever changed
For all our mutual experience
Our separate conclusions are the same
Now we are forced to recognize our inhumanity
A reason coexists with our insanity
And though we choose between reality and madness
ItÂ’s either sadness or euphoria
How thoughtlessly we dissipate our energies
Perhaps we donÂ’t fulfill each otherÂ’s fantasies
And as we stand upon the ledges of our lives
With our respective similarities
ItÂ’s either sadness or euphoria
Oh
!
