High Hopes

Pink Floyd

Beyond the horizon of the place we lived whe were young In world of magnetes and miracles Our thoughts strayed constantly and without boundary The ringing of the division bell had begun Along the road and on down the causeway Do still meet by cut There a ragged band that followed in our footsteps Running before time took our dreams away Leaving the riad small creatures trying to tie the To a life consumed by slow decay The was greener The was brighter With friends surround The of wonder Looking beyond the embers of bridges glowing behind us To glimpse of it was other Steps taken forwards but sleep walking back again Dragged by force of some inner At a higher with flag unfurled We reached the of that dreamed of Encumbered forever by desire and ambition There''s a hunger still unsatisfied Our weary eyes still stray to the Though down this road we''ve so times The grass was greener The light was brighter The taste was sweeter The nights of wonder With friends surround
