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
Who followed in our footsteps
Running before times took our dreams away
Leaving the myriad small creatures trying to tieus
To the ground to a life consumed by slow decay
The grass was greener
The light was brighter
When friends surrounded
The nights of wonder
Looking beyond the embers
Of bridges glowing behind us
To a glimpse of how green it was on the other side
Steps taken forwards but sleepwalking back again
Dragged by the force of some sleeping tide
At a higher altitude with flag unfurled
We reached the dizzy heights of that dreamed of world
Marching drums bit:

Encumbered forever
By desire and ambition
Theres a hunger still unsatisfied
Our weary eyes still stray to the horizon
Though down this road I've been so many times
The grass was greener
The light was brighter
The taste was sweete, the nights of wonder
With friends surrounded, the dawn mist glowing
The water flowing, the endless river
Forever and ever...
