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 ,long down to 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 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 inner tide
|
but the highest altitude with flag 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 taste was sweeter
|
The nights of wonder
|
When friends surrounded
|
The dawn mist glowing
|
The water flowing
|
The endless river
|
|
Forever and ever
|
