Indigo Girls - History Of Us lyrics

I went all the way to paris to forget your face<br>Captured in stained glass, young lives long since passed<br>Statues of lovers every place<br>I went all across the continent to relieve this restless love<br>I walked through the ruins, icons of glory<br>Smashed by the bombs from above<br><br>So we must love while these moments are still called today<br>Take part in the pain of this passion play<br>Stretching our youth as we must, until we are ashes to dust<br>Until time makes history of us<br><br>Jeu de paume's full of faces knowing peace, knowing strife<br>Leisure and toil, still it's canvas and oil<br>There's just no medium for life<br>In the midst of the rubble I felt a sense of rebirth<br>In a dusty cathedral the living God called<br>And I prayed for my life here on earth<br><br>So we must love while these moments are still called today<br>Take part in the pain of this passion play<br>Stretching our youth as we must, until we are ashes to dust<br>Until time makes history of us<br><br>There are mountains in switzerland, brilliant cold as they stand<br>From my hotel room, watching the half-moon<br>Bleeding it's light like a lamb<br>And the town is illumined, it's tiny figures are fast asleep<br>And it dawns on me the time is upon me<br>To return to the flock I must keep<br><br>So we must love while these moments are still called today<br>Take part in the pain of this passion play<br>Stretching our youth as we must, until we are ashes to dust<br>Until time makes history of us
