Cm            Cm7           Ab                              Cm
Beyond the horizon of the place we lived when we were young
               Cm7                 Ab
In a world of magnets and miracles
Cm                      Cm7               Ab
Our thoughts strayed constantly and without boundary
Cm                   Cm7                 Ab
The ringing of the division bell had begun

               Bb            G7
Along the long road and on down the causeway
Ab             Bb            G7
Do they still meet there by the cut


(same chord sequence for other verses)

There was a ragged band who followed in our footsteps
Running before times took our dreams away
Leaving the myriad small creatures trying to tie us to the ground
To a life consumed by slow decay

Ab              Cm    Gm Ab
The grass was greener
Bb                 Cm  Eb Fm
The light was brighter
Ab              Cm   Gm  Ab
With friends surrounded
Bb               Cm   Eb Fm
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 I've been so many times


(same sequence as in first chorus )
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...
