High Hopes - Live

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 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
 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
