[00:05.00] High Hopes
[00:22.73]
[00:37.73] Beyond the horizon of the place we lived when we were young
[00:42.90] In a world of magnets and miracles
[00:49.20] Our thoughts strayed constantly and without boundary
[00:55.13] The ringing of the division bell had begun
[01:01.14]
[01:02.96] Along the Long Road and on down the Causeway
[01:08.46] Do they still meet there by the Cut
[01:14.41] There was a ragged band that followed our footsteps
[01:21.07] Running before time took our dreams away
[01:27.95] Leaving the myriad small creatures trying to tie us to the ground
[01:34.27] To a life consumed by slow decay
[01:36.27]
[01:39.52] The grass was greener
[01:45.40] The light was brighter
[01:51.88] With friends surrounded
[01:58.24] The nights of wonder
[01:59.33]
[02:06.94] Looking beyond the embers of bridges glowing behind us
[02:12.73] To a glimpse of how green it was on the other side
[02:19.21] Steps taken forwards but sleepwalking back again
[02:25.34] Dragged by force of some inner tide
[02:29.60]
[02:32.48] At a higher altitude with flag unfurled
[02:38.29] We reached the dizzy heights of that dreamed of world
[02:44.65]
[03:28.88]
[03:46.02] Encumbered forever by desire and ambition
[03:51.13] There's a hunger still unsatisfied
[03:54.13] I will I still said to the horizon
[04:03.89] Though down this road we've been so many times
[04:10.25] The grass was greener
[04:15.35] The light was brighter
[04:21.53] The taste was sweeter
[04:27.69] The nights of wonder
[04:34.29] With friends surrounded
[04:40.31] The dawn mist growing
[04:46.47] The water flowing
[04:52.52] The endless river
[04:58.64] Forever and ever
[05:22.64]
[05:46.87] The grass was greener
[05:52.35] The light was brighter
[05:58.20] The taste was sweeter
[06:04.29] The nights of wonder
[06:10.39] With friends surrounded
[06:16.28] The dawn mist growing
[06:22.11] The water flowing
[06:28.27] The endless river
[06:34.36] Forever and ever
[06:44.03]
