[00:53.020] Beyond the horizon of the place we lived when we were young
[00:59.460] In a world of magnets and miracles
[01:05.140] Our thoughts strayed constantly and without boundary
[01:11.510] The ringing of the division bell had begun
[01:16.550]
[01:18.580] Along the Long Road and on down the Causeway
[01:24.830] Do they still meet there by the Cut
[01:29.330]
[01:31.530] There was a ragged band that followed our footsteps
[01:39.790] Running before time took our dreams away
[01:46.470] Leaving the myriad small creatures trying to tie us to the ground
[01:52.750] To a life consumed by slow decay
[01:57.030]
[01:57.960] The grass was greener
[02:04.320] The light was brighter
[02:10.450] With friends surrounded
[02:16.930] The nights of wonder
[02:20.840]
[02:24.690] Looking beyond the embers of bridges glowing behind us
[02:30.900] To a glimpse of how green it was on the other side
[02:37.190] Steps taken forwards but sleepwalking back again
[02:43.390] Dragged by force of some inner tide
[02:48.630]
[02:50.230] At a higher altitude with flag unfurled
[02:56.360] We reached the dizzy heights of that dreamed of world
[03:02.460]
[04:04.160]
[04:06.670] Encumbered forever by desire and ambition
[04:12.720] There's a hunger still unsatisfied
[04:19.170] Though down this road we've been so many times
[04:31.300] The grass was greener
[04:36.780] The light was brighter
[04:43.110] The taste was sweeter
[04:49.440] The nights of wonder
[04:55.760] With friends surrounded
[05:02.210] The dawn mist growing
[05:08.760] The water flowing
[05:14.900] The endless river
[05:22.270] Forever and ever
[05:22.270] Forever and ever
