Along the Long Road and on
down the Causeway
There was a ragged band that
followed in our footsteps
The grass was greener
Looking beyond the
embers of bridges glowing behind us
At a higher altitude with
flag unfurled
Encumbered forever by desire
and ambition
The grass was greener
Forever and ever
Do they still meet there
by the Cut
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 light was brighter
With friends sorrounded
The nights of wonder
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
We reached the dizzy heights
of that dreamed of world
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 light was brighter
The taste was sweeter
The nights of wonder
With friends sorrounded
The dawn mist glowing
The water flowing
The endless river
