Nightwish - High Hopes (live) lyrics

[Pink Floyd cover] 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 to 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 gra** was greener The light was brighter With friends surrounding The nights of wonder Looking beyond the embers of the bridges glowing behind us To a glimpse at our great lose of the other side Steps taken forward but sleepwalking back again, Dragged by force of some inner tide But the highest altitude with flag unfurled We reached the dizzy heights of that dreamed of world Encumbered forever by desire and ambition, There's hunger still unsatisfied, Our weary eyes still stray to the horizon, Though down this road we've been so many times. The gra** was greener The light was brighter The taste was sweeter The nights of wonder With friends surrounded The dark mist growing The water flowing The endless river Forever and ever [x2]
