11 - High Hopes

[00:48.92] Beyond the horizon of the place we lived when we were young

[00:54.67] In a world of magnets and miracles

[01:00.90] Our thoughts strayed constantly and without boundary

[01:06.42] The ringing of the division bell had begun

[01:13.67] Along the Long Road and on down the Causeway

[01:20.67] Do they still meet there by the Cut

[01:26.41] There was a ragged band that followed in our footsteps

[01:32.92] Running before times took our dreams away

[01:38.92] Leaving the myriad small creatures trying to tie us to the ground

[01:45.91] To a life consumed by slow decay

[01:51.42] The grass was greener

[01:56.94] The light was brighter

[02:02.14] When friends surrounded

[02:09.66] The nights of wonder

[02:17.67] Looking beyond the embers of bridges glowing behind us

[02:24.17] To a glimpse of how green it was on the other side

[02:30.40] Steps taken forwards but sleepwalking back again

[02:36.67] Dragged by the force of some in a tide

[02:43.67] At a higher altitude with flag unfurled

[02:49.92] We reached the dizzy heights of that dreamed of world

[03:59.69] Encumbered forever by desire and ambition

[04:06.41] There's a hunger still unsatisfied

[04:12.67] Our weary eyes still stray to the horizon

[04:18.67] Though down this road we've been so many times

[04:24.42] The grass was greener

[04:30.17] The light was brighter

[04:37.17] The taste was sweeter

[04:42.96] The nights of wonder

[04:49.91] With friends surrounded

[04:55.90] The dawn mist glowing

[05:02.64] The water flowing

[05:08.92] The endless river

[05:14.68] Forever and ever
