history of us Lyrics
The song history of us is performed by Indigo Girls in the album named Indigo Girls in the year 1990 .
Send history of us Ringtone to your Cell
I went all the way to Paris
To forget your face
Captured in stained gla*s
Young lives long since pa*sed
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 pa*sion 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 pa*sion 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 illuminated
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 pa*sion play
Stretching our youth as we must
Until we are ashes to dust
Until time makes history, of us
