Pink Floyd Lyrics...
High Hopes
Album: The Division Bell
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 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
-
With friends surrounded
-
The dawn mist glowing
-
The water flowing
-
The endless river
-
-
Forever and ever
-
