Pink Floyd - High Hopes lyrics
[Pink Floyd - High Hopes lyrics]
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 for ever and ever
"Is that Charlie? Hello Charlie! Great"
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 for ever and ever
"Is that Charlie? Hello Charlie! Great"
