Billy Joel song?

[mermista]

I'm having a brain-fart on the title of this Billy Joel song and I figure it'll probably be faster and easier to just ask here, considering I'm addicted to these boards and I can't leave.

Okay, I know it's Billy Joel, and it's a relatively obscure song, but the only words I can remember are "...it's either sadness or euphoria" which I believe is the last line of the chorus because I remember it several different ways.

That would be "Summer, Highland Falls", from the "Turnstiles" album.

"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 lover?s eyes

And 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

And though we choose between reality and madness

It?s either sadness or euphoria

How thoughtlessly we dissipate our energies

Perhaps we don?t 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

Oh?!"

And that would be why you're my hero Sammy
