About

Aside from being controversial, Tales From Topographic Oceans is known as the brainchild of Jon Anderson and Steve Howe. To try and compensate for this, they tried to make sure each of the other three musicians had integral parts in the structure of the songs. As explained in the liner notes, Rick W...

The Remembering (High the Memory) Lyrics

[Intro]
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 compass to offer
Into a time that we've all seen on
Into a time that we've all seen on

[Bridge]
High the memory carry on
While the moments start to linger
Sailed away among your dreams
The strength regains us in between our time
The strength regains us in between our time

[Bridge]
As we shall speak to differ also
The ends meet the river's son
So the ends meet the river's son

[Verse 1]
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 song might take you silently
They move fast, they tell me
There's someone, rainbow
Alternate tune

[Verse 2]
In the days of summers so long
We danced as evening sang their song
We wander out the day 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

[Interlude]

[Segue]

[Intro]
Softer messages bring 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

[Verse 3]
I reach over and the fruit of life stands still
Stand awhile we search our past, we start anew
(The music sings of love you knew)
We walk around the story

[Chorus]
Out in the city running free
Sands of companions sides that be
The strength of the meeting lies with you

[Chorus]
Wait all the more regard your past
Schoolgates remind us of our class
Chase all confusion away with us

[Verse 4]
Stand on hills of long forgotten yesterdays
Pass amongst your memories told returning ways
(As certain as we walk today)
We walked around the story

[Chorus]
Out in the city running free
Days pass as seconds turn the key
The strength of the moment lies with you

[Interlude]

[Segue]

[Verse 5]
Don the cap and close your eyes
Imagine all the glorious challenge
Iron metal cast to others
Distant drums

[Verse 6]
Force the bit between the mouth of freedom
Didn't we learn to fly
Remember to sail the skies
Distant suns

[Refrain]
Will we reach
Winds allow
Other skylines
Other skylines to hold you

[Chorus]
Relayer, all the dying cried before you
Relayer, we've rejoiced in all their meaning
Relayer, we advance, we retrace our stories

[Interlude]

[Verse 7]
Like a dreamer all our lives
Are only lost begotten changes
We relive in seagull's pages
Outward ways

[Verse 8]
Things are all in colours
And the size of others shall send you forward
Arranged to sail you toward
A peace of mind

[Refrain]
Will we reach
Winds allow
Other skylines
Other skylines to hold you

[Chorus]
Relayer, all the passion spent on one cross
Relayer, sail the futile wars they suffer
Relayer, we advance, we retrace our story
Fail safe now

[Segue]

[Verse 9]
Stand on hills of long forgotten yesterdays
Pass amongst your memories told returning ways
(As certain as we walk today)
Press over moments leaving you

[Chorus]
Out in the city running free
Days pass as seconds turn the key
The strength of the moment lies with you

[Chorus]
Out tender outward lights of you
Shine over mountains make the view
The strength of you seeing lies with you

[Interlude]

[Segue]

[Verse 10]
Ours entrance we surely carry on
And change the passing of the sun
We don't even need to try, we are one
And I do think very well as the truth unfolds you silently
They move time, rainbows
Sunlight
Alternate tune, alternate tune

[Instrumental Break]
[Guitar Solo]

[Outro]
Rainbows, soft light
Alternate view
Sunlight tell me
Someone
Alternate view
Alternate view
Surely, surely
(Ohh)
(Ohh-ohh)
(Ohh-ooh)
(Ohh-ohh)
