Lyrics

[00:46.42] Beyond the horizon of the place we lived when we were young
[00:52.65] In a world of magnets and miracles
[00:59.03] Our thoughts strayed constantly and without boundary
[01:05.04] The ringing of the division bell had begun
[01:12.31] Along the Long Road and on down the Causeway
[01:18.48] Do they still meet there by the Cut
[01:24.95] There was a ragged band that followed our footsteps
[01:31.04] Running before time took our dreams away
[01:37.26] Leaving the myriad small creatures trying to tie us to the ground
[01:44.04] To a life consumed by slow decay
[01:49.07] The grass was greener
[01:55.31] The light was brighter
[02:01.78] With friends surrounded
[02:08.06] The nights of wonder
[02:16.05] Looking beyond the embers of bridges glowing behind us
[02:22.11] To a glimpse of how green it was on the other side
[02:29.32] Steps taken forwards but sleepwalking back again
[02:35.03] Dragged by force of some inner tide
[02:41.03] At a higher altitude with flag unfurled
[02:47.37] We reached the dizzy heights of that dreamed of world
[03:57.78] Encumbered forever by desire and ambition
[04:04.06] There's a hunger still unsatisfied
[04:10.75] Our weary eyes still stray to the horizon
[04:16.36] Though down this road we've been so many times
[04:22.08] The grass was greener
[04:28.02] The light was brighter
[04:34.37] The taste was sweeter
[04:41.04] The nights of wonder
[04:47.04] With friends surrounded
[04:53.43] The dawn mist growing
[05:00.05] The water flowing
[05:06.02] The endless river
[05:12.44] Forever and ever
