Beyond the horizon of the place we lived when we were young In a world of magnets and miraeles Our thoughts strayed eonetantly and without boundary The ringing of the division bell had begun
Along the long Road and on down the Cauesway 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 ereatures trying to tie us to the ground To a life eonsumed by slow seeay
The grass was greener The light was brighter With 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 sleepwaking back again Dragged by the forse of some inner tide
At a higher altitude with flag unfurled We reached the dizzy heights of that dreamed of world
Eneumbered 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 taste was sweeter The nights of wonder With friends surrounded The dawn mist glowing The water flowing The endless river
