Indigo Girls - History Of Us Lyrics
I went all the way to paris to forget your faceCaptured in stained glass, young lives long since passedStatues of lovers every placeI went all across the continent to relieve this restless loveI walked through the ruins, icons of glorySmashed by the bombs from aboveSo we must love while these moments are still called todayTake part in the pain of this passion playStretching our youth as we must, until we are ashes to dustUntil time makes history of usJeu de paumes full of faces knowing peace, knowing strifeLeisure and toil, still its canvas and oilTheres just no medium for lifeIn the midst of the rubble I felt a sense of rebirthIn a dusty cathedral the living God calledAnd I prayed for my life here on earthSo we must love while these moments are still called todayTake part in the pain of this passion playStretching our youth as we must, until we are ashes to dustUntil time makes history of usThere are mountains in switzerland, brilliant cold as they standFrom my hotel room, watching the half-moonBleeding its light like a lambAnd the town is illumined, its tiny figures are fast asleepAnd it dawns on me the time is upon meTo return to the flock I must keepSo we must love while these moments are still called todayTake part in the pain of this passion playStretching our youth as we must, until we are ashes to dustUntil time makes history of us
