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 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   
With friends surrounded   
The night 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   
   
At a higher altitude with flag unfuried   
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   
With friends surrounded   
The dawn mist glowing   
The water flowing   
The endless river   
   
Forever and ever
