High Hopes lyrics

Artist  : Pink Floyd 
Song : High Hopes



 Send "High Hopes" Ringtone to your Cell 

 (David Gilmour/Polly Samson)

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
