(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 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
