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 the 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 live consumed by slow decay
The grass was greener The light was brighter With friends surrounded The nights of wonder
Looking beyon the embers of bridges glowing behind us To a glimpse of how green it was on the other side Steps taken forwards but sleepwaking back again Dragged by the force of some inner tide
At a higher altitude with flags 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 the horizon Though down this road we've been so many times
The grass was greener The light was brighter The tast was sweeter The nights of wonder With friends surrounded The dawn mist glowing The water flowing The endless river
