Indigo Girls - History Of Us Lyrics

i went all the way to paris to forget your face 
captured in stained glass, young lives long since passed 
statues of lovers every place 
i went all across the continent to relieve this restless love 
i walked through the ruins, icons of glory 
smashed by the bombs from above 

so we must love while these moments are still called today 
take part in the pain of this passion play 
stretching our youth as we must, until we are ashes to dust 
until time makes history of us 

jeu de paume's full of faces knowing peace, knowing strife 
leisure and toil, still it's canvas and oil 
there's just no medium for life 
in the midst of the rubble i felt a sense of rebirth 
in a dusty cathedral the living god called 
and i prayed for my life here on earth 

so we must love while these moments are still called today 
take part in the pain of this passion play 
stretching our youth as we must, until we are ashes to dust 
until time makes history of us 

there are mountains in switzerland, brilliant cold as they stand 
from my hotel room, watching the half-moon 
bleeding its light like a lamb 
and the town is illumined, its tiny figures are fast asleep 
and it dawns on me the time is upon me 
to return to the flock i must keep 

so we must love while these moments are still called today 
take part in the pain of this passion play 
stretching our youth as we must, until we are ashes to dust 
until time makes history of us
