Beyond the horizon of the place we lived when we were young <br />In a world of magnets and miracles <br />Our thoughts strayed constantly and without boundary <br />The ringing of the division bell had begun <br /> <br />Along the Long Road and on down the Causeway <br />Do they still meet there by the Cut <br /> <br />There was a ragged band that followed our footsteps <br />Running before time took our dreams away <br />Leaving the myriad small creatures trying to tie us to the ground <br />To a life consumed by slow decay <br /> <br />The grass was greener <br />The light was brighter <br />With friends surrounded <br />The nights of wonder <br /> <br />Looking beyond the embers of bridges glowing behind us <br />To a glimpse of how green it was on the other side <br />Steps taken forwards but sleepwalking back again <br />Dragged by force of some inner tide <br /> <br />At a higher altitude with flag unfurled <br />We reached the dizzy heights of that dreamed of world <br /> <br />Encumbered forever by desire and ambition <br />There's a hunger still unsatisfied <br />Though down this road we've been so many times <br /> <br />The grass was greener <br />The light was brighter <br />The taste was sweeter <br />The nights of wonder <br />With friends surrounded <br />The dawn mist growing <br />The water flowing <br />The endless river
