Bilingual
Beyond the horizon of the place we lived when we were young
In a world of magnets and miracles
All thoughts read constantly and without boundary
The ringing of the division bell had begun
Along the long road and on down the causeway
Don't dare to meet there by the cut
There was a ragged band that followed our footsteps
Running before time took our dreams away
Leaving the myriad small critters 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 our Greenwich was on the other side
Steps taken forward but slipping, walking 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
And curled forever by desire and ambition
There's a hunger still unsatisfied
Our weary eyes chill straight 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 dope is growing
The water flowing
The endless river
Forever and ever
Forever and ever
Forever and ever
Forever and ever
