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

I've just been reading about women's ordination, and the right of women to pray with the same freedom men enjoy at the Western Wall in Jerusalem--and these are just two of the many challenges women face when expressing their unique spirituality. In this song, Emily talks about hearing the Living God, and then, from a hotel room in Switzerland, recognizing that it's time for her to return to her flock. I'm one of her flock. She has a calling, and a power, to uplift and to pray through her music, in such an inclusive fashion (both Emily and Amy), that it is never aggressive or antagonistic, even in critiquing the status quo. They are full of love, and they have healed so many, spoken for the broken and inspired hearts, and returned us to solid ground from the depths of despair, because it becomes so very clear that we are not alone in our pain, and that there is so much more going on around us than our personal crises. There's no way for me to express how grateful I am to them, and what a difference they've made in my life...how much hope they've given me when I'm utterly hopeless--and I know I'm not alone. For me, she is a spiritual leader and healer, as well as a sublimely insightful, intuitive, and accomplished craftswoman/songsmith. They are so prolific because they are so active, and open to inspiration--which means they keep their hearts wide open. Which hurts, and takes courage. Thank God for us, they are truly courageous and honest, and I'm so glad I was introduced to their music. It changed the course of my life. With every ounce of my heart and soul and love, Namaste, Pam

In our highest hopes, our dreams turn out better, with the mother and the father of the universe stewarding a wondrous hope for all those who give so much in caring about us all. On many a mountaintop, in many a cathedral, in the hearts and minds with the young and the ignorant in their concerns, something new and beautiful about us like this song lives.

RE; "History Of Us" I'm a songwriter, acoustic guitar player and I'm from Colorado where these gals were quite popular for the longest time. I qualify the following declaration by saying that I've lived in 14 states and five countries and I listen to all genre's of music and I can say, with well-rounded opinion, that; "This is quite possibly the most beautifully and well written song ever penned".

This is a nice, mellow and thought-provoking song of the Indigo Girls. I saw them in concert years ago and they put on a great show.

The Indigo Girls define a period in my life that I remember with fondness. Just hearing these great "old" songs conjures up the fact that good music truly is timeless. I will love these songs forever.
