[Verse 1] Sunlight on the fields, a distant sound The days we never thought would end, on hollow ground We painted castles in the sky, with youthful hands A silent promise, we would one day understand [Chorus] The seasons turn, the river still flows But the boy from the past, where did he go? Just fading horizons, on a silent sea An empty echo of who we used to be [Verse 2] The map we drew is folded, tucked away The trails we walked on have all turned to grey We built a life of steel and endless noise Forgot the sound of simple, childlike joys [Guitar Solo] [A soaring, expressive solo with heavy use of slide guitar and clean tone, reminiscent of David Gilmour's signature style. Long, sustained notes that convey deep emotion and longing.] [Chorus] The seasons turn, the river still flows But the boy from the past, where did he go? Just fading horizons, on a silent sea An empty echo of who we used to be [Bridge] Did we climb the mountain just to see the rain? Trade a moment's wonder for a bitter pain? We stand on the cliff, with our backs to the past And the fragile memories that were built to last [Outro] ...Fading... ...horizons... ...the boy from the past...
