Summer Highland Falls (Live at Nassau Coliseum, Uniondale, NY - December 1977) - Billy Joel (比利·喬)

Lyrics by：Billy Joel

Composed by：Billy Joel

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 mother's eyes

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

Though we choose between reality and madness

It's either sadness or euphoria

How thoughtlessly we dissipate our energies

Perhaps we'll help 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
