High Hopes....

Beyond the horizon of the place we lived when we were young
In a world of magnets and miracles
Our thoughts strayed constantly and without boundary
The ringing of the division bell had begun

.
Along the Long Road and on down the Causeway
Do they still meet there by Cut

.
There was a ragged band that followed in our footsteps
Running before time took our dreams away
Leaving the myriad small creatures trying to tie us to the ground
To a life consumed by slow decay

.
The grass was greener
The light was brighter
With friends surrounded
The nights of wonder

.

.
Looking beyond the embers of bridges glowing behind us
To a glimpse of how green it was on the other side
Steps taken forwards but sleepwalking back again
Dragged by the force of some inner tide

.
At a higher altitude with flag unfurled
We reached the dizzy heights of that dreamed of world

.
Encumbered forever by desire and ambition
There's a hunger still unsatisfied
Our weary eyes still stray to be horizon
Though down this road we've been so many times

.

.
The grass was greener
The light was brighter
The taste was sweeter
The nights of wonder
With friends surrounded
The dawn mist glowing
The water flowing
The endless river

.

.
Forever and ever

.

.

Forever
