Billy Joel Lyrics for Song: Summer, Highland Falls
 Lyrics for Album: Turnstiles
 
 
 
 4890>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
 
 OhÂ…!
