SUMMER HIGHLAND FALLS

Peter, Paul & Mary

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...sadness or euphoria.

So we'll argue and we'll compromise and realize

That nothing's really changed.

For all our mutual experience our separate conclusions

Are the same.

Now we are forced to recognize our inhumanity

Our reason co-exists with our insanity

And though we choose between reality and madness

It's either sadness or euphoria...sadness or euphoria.

How thoughtlessly we dissipate our energies

Perhaps we don't fulfill each other's fantasies

And so we stand upon the ledges of our lives

With our expected similarities...it's either sadness or euphoria.

(repeat last verse)
