High Hopes

[00:29.22] Beyond the horizon of the place we lived when we were young
[00:35.65] In a world of magnets and miracles
[00:42.03] Our thoughts strayed constantly and without boundary
[00:47.82] The ringing of the division bell had begun
[00:54.84] Along the Long Road and on down the Causeway
[01:01.20] Do they still meet there by the Cut?
[01:07.50] There was a ragged band that followed in our footsteps
[01:13.51] Running before time took our dreams away
[01:20.32] Leaving the myriad small creatures trying to tie us to the ground
[01:26.73] To a life consumed by slow decay
[01:31.69] The grass was greener
[01:35.55]
[01:37.88] The light was brighter
[01:42.04]
[01:44.17] With friends surrounded
[01:48.39]
[01:50.65] The night of wonder
[01:54.99]
[01:58.60] Looking beyond the embers of bridges glowing behind us
[02:05.03] To a glimpse of how green it was on the other side
[02:11.34] Steps taken forwards but sleepwalking back again
[02:17.67] Dragged by the force of some inner tide
[02:24.29] At a higher altitude with flag unfurled
[02:30.58] We reached the dizzy heights of that dreamed of world
[02:37.35]
[03:15.30] Encumbered forever by desire and ambition
[03:21.69] There's a hunger still unsatisfied
[03:28.06] Our weary eyes still stray to the horizon
[03:33.64] Though down this road we've been so many times
[03:39.39] The grass was greener
[03:43.19]
[03:45.59] The light was brighter
[03:49.69]
[03:51.93] The taste was sweeter
[03:55.94]
[03:58.30] The nights of wonder
[04:04.66] With friends surrounded
[04:08.61]
[04:11.09] The dawn mist glowing
[04:15.16]
[04:17.47] The water flowing
[04:21.48]
[04:23.89] The endless river
[04:28.02]
[04:30.14] Forever and ever
[04:32.70]
