♫ Pink Floyd - High Hopes [Lyrics]

--- INFO ---

Album: The Division Bell
Year: 1994
Music: Gilmour

--- 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
Forever and ever

Words cannot explain what this song does to me. Ive played it over and over, countless times, since the day I first heard it and it still moves me everytime.

[Utentaccio Acaso]

words can't express what this song makes me feel

[Richard Kokubugata]

Am I the only one who gets an erection when I listen to this song? I'm not trying to be weird, I really get it and at the same time I get huge chills down my spine.

[Richard Kokubugata]

go home Mandy, you're drunk

[Richard Kokubugata]

[BuiscuitsAndBongs]

AND listen to pink floyd xD

[christian chavez]

every time I hear this song, I remember my friends, is a song that moves me so much that sometimes shed tears, the final solo is so beautiful that I can not explain how I feel every time I hear it, have been a thousand times I've heard, and the effect on me is always the same, thank you Pink Floyd

[Ondra Klas]

Really... if i listen this, i feel in real life! :) One of the best songs ever and maybe forever...

Thankfully I got to see the Floyd at Earls Court back in 94 at 17 years old. Shame that Richard is no longer with us, god bless him. After seeing them perform at Live 8, there may have been a possibility for all 4 members to have made one last album. Maybe not but we'll never know.

Awesome timeless song.

[GamerTheM]

One of the best songs ever. And maybe the best Pink Floyd's song.
