You're still my bad habit, &I'm still an addict ~

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 LIVE 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 up 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
