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

  • 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

    Reminds me of a holiday i had with friends at 19, best week of my life, makes me tear up every time.

  • @PunitorMaximus those 23 people probably have no hopes whatsoever

  • Brit Floyd nailed High Hopes last night... awesome show.

  • used to trip to this album,amazing! as for those who dislike do you wear a bucket on your head that says WAKE UP-WAKE UP ?????

  • hai dair 24 people, i heard you like dubstep?

  • @HalenNotHagar1984 and dont know what real music is.

  • to me, the Division Bell is the best Floyd lp...got me through some bad times...awesome lp

  • @HalenNotHagar1984 You're so damn right, but that wouldn't bothers me much ... WE, the rest, are so few, judging by how heavenly sounds this song into my ears ... and, thinking of that, I realise that not even this doesn't matter, after all, I'm almost knocking on heaven's door ...

  • 24 people who disliked this,

    go ahead stab you in the ears repeatedly because you dont know what good music is..

  • @tornvork1 damn yeah brother, this music is pure nostalgia!

  • @Smashbrosforlife I know :( It's really depressing to think about.
