High Hopes歌词

[00:28.43]Beyond the horizon of the place we lived when we were young
[00:34.90]In a world of magnets and miracles
[00:38.95]
[00:41.52]Our thoughts strayed constantly and without boundary
[00:45.77]
[00:47.58]The ringing of the division bell had begun
[00:52.20]
[00:54.96]Along the Long Road and on down the Causeway
[01:00.30]
[01:01.60]Do they still meet there by the Cut
[01:04.99]
[01:08.17]There was a ragged band that followed our footsteps
[01:13.50]
[01:14.31]Running before time took our dreams away
[01:18.35]
[01:21.48]Leaving the myriad small creatures trying to tie us to the ground
[01:27.14]
[01:28.21]To a life consumed by slow decay
[01:32.22]
[01:33.41]The grass was greener
[01:36.35]
[01:39.79]The light was brighter
[01:42.66]
[01:46.48]With friends surrounded
[01:49.41]
[01:53.17]The nights of wonder
[01:55.79]
[02:01.54]Looking beyond the embers of bridges glowing behind us
[02:06.86]
[02:08.18]To a glimpse green of how it was on the other side
[02:12.09]
[02:14.85]Steps taken forwards but sleepwalking back again
[02:20.60]
[02:21.59]Dragged by force of some inner tide
[02:25.53]
[02:28.28]At a higher altitude with flag unfurled
[02:32.90]
[02:34.90]We reached the dizzy heights of that dreamed of world
[02:40.65]
[03:48.35]Encumbered forever by desire and ambition
[03:53.05]
[03:54.86]There's a hunger still unsatisfied
[03:57.82]
[04:01.51]Our weary eyes still stray to the horizon
[04:06.26]
[04:07.51]Though down this road we've been so many times
[04:11.79]
[04:13.36]The grass was greener
[04:16.11]
[04:19.86]The light was brighter
[04:22.54]
[04:26.54]The taste was sweeter
[04:29.80]
[04:33.18]The nights of wonder
[04:36.23]
[04:39.80]With friends surrounded
[04:42.73]
[04:46.42]The dawn mist growing
[04:49.49]
[04:53.23]The water flowing
[04:56.17]
[04:59.80]The endless river
[05:02.67]
[05:06.42]Forever and ever
