Billy Joel Lyrics for Song: Summer, Highland Falls
 Lyrics for Album: Live At Shea Stadium: Deluxe Edition [2011]
 
 
 
 4802>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
 
 
 
 So we'll argue and we'll compromise
 
 And realize that nothing'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
 
 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,!
