Remembering High the Memory Lyrics

The song Remembering High the Memory is performed by Yes in the album named Tales from Topographic Oceans in the year 2003 .

(Words by Anderson - Howe; Music by Yes)
Suritis: The Remembering. All our thoughts, impressions, knowledge,
fears, have been developing for millions of years. What we can
relate to is our own past, our own life, our own history. Here, it
is especially Rick's keyboards which bring alive the ebb and flow
and depth of our mind's eye; the topographic ocean. Hopefully we
should appreciate that given points in time are not so significant
as the nature of what is impressed on the mind, and how it is
retained and used.

As the silence of seasons on we relive abridge sails afloat
As to call light the soul shall sing of the velvet sailors course on
Of the velvet sailors course on
Shine or moons send me memories trail over days of forgotten tales
Course the compa*s to offer into a time that we've all seen on
Into a time that we've all seen on

High the memory carry on
While the moments start to linger
Sail away among your dreams
The strength regains us in between our time
The strength regains us in between our time
As we shall speak to differ also the ends meet the river's son
So the ends meet the river's son

Ours the story shall we carry on
And search the forest of the sun
We dream as we dream! Dream as one
And I do think very well
That the son might take you silently
They move fast
They tell me
There's someone rainbow
Alternate tune

In the days of summers so long
We danced as evenings sang their song
We wander out the days so long
And I do feel very well
That the evenings take you
Silently. They move round
Sunlight, seeing ground
Whispers of clay
Alternate ways

Softer messages bringing light to a truth long forgotten on
As we shall speak to differ also the ends meet the river's son
So the ends meet the river's son

I reach over and the fruit of life stand still
Stand awhile we search our past we start anew
The music sings of love you knew We walk around the story
Out in the city running free
Sands of companions sides that be
The strength of the meeting lies with you
Wait all the more regard your past
School gates remind us of our cla*s
Chase all confusion away with us

Stand on hills of long forgotten yesterdays
Pa*s amongst your memories told returning ways
As certain as we walk today
We walk around the story
Out in the city running free
Days pa*s as seconds turn they key
The strength of the moment lies with you

Don the cap and close your eyes imagine all the glorious challenge
Iron metal cast to others
Distant drums

Force the bit between the mouth of freedom didn't we learn to fly
Remember to sail the skies
Distant suns
Will we reach
Wiunds allow
Other skylines
Other skylines to hold you

Relayer
All the dying cried before you
Relayer
We've rejoiced in all their meaining
Relayer
We advance we retrace our stories

Like a dreamer all our lives are only lost begotten changes
We relive in seagull's pages
Outwards ways.

Things are all in colours and the size of others shall send you
forward
Arrange to sail you toward
A peace of mind
Will we reach
Winds allow
Other skylines
Other skylines to hold you

Relayer
All the pa*sion spent on one cross
Relayer
Sail the futile wars they suffer
Relayer
We advance we retrace our story, fail safe now

Stand on hills of long forgotten yesterdays
Pa*s amongst your memories told returning ways
As certain as we walk today
Press over moments leaving you
Out in the city running free
Days pa*s as seconds turn the key
The strength of the moment lies with you
Out tender outward lights of you
Shine over mountains make the view
The strength of you seeing lies with you

Ours entrance we surely carry on
And change the pa*sing of the sun
We don't even need to try we are one

And I do think very well
As the truth unflods you
Silently
They move time
Rainbows
Sunlight
Alternate tune
Alternate tune

Rainbows
Soft light
Alternate view
Sunlight
Tell me
Someone
Alternate view
Alternate view, surely, surely
