Introduction:
Cm Cm7 G#
Beyond the horizon of the place we lived when we were young
Cm Cm7 G#
In a world of magnets and miracles
Cm Cm7 G#
Our thoughts strayed constantly and without boundary
Cm Cm7 G#
The ringing of the division bell had begun
Cm Bb G7 Bm Cm
Along the long road and on down the causeway
Cm Bb G7
Do they still meet there by the cut?
Cm Cm7 G#
There was a ragged band who followed in our footsteps
Cm Cm7 G#
Running before time took our dreams away
Cm Cm7 G#
Leaving the myriad small creatures trying to tie us to the ground
Cm Cm7 G#
To a life consumed by slow decay....

The grass was greener...
Cm D) Eb Fm( G) G#
The light was brighter...
Cm Gm G# Bb
When friends surrounded...
Cm D) Eb Fm G
The nights of wonder...
Cm Cm7 G#
Looking beyond the embers of bridges glowing behind us
Cm Cm7 G#
To a glimpse of how green it was on the other side
Cm Cm7 G#
Steps taken forwards but sleepwalking back again
Cm Cm7 G#
Dragged by the force of some inner tide
Cm Bb G7 Bm Cm
At a higher altitude with flag unfurled
Cm Bb G7
We reached the dizzy heights of that dreamed of world
Instrumental Break
Cm Cm7 G#
Encumbered forever by desire and ambition

There's a hunger still unsatisfied

Our weary eyes still stray to the horizon

The grass was greener...

The light was brighter...

The taste was sweeter...

The nights of wonder...

The dawn mist glowing...

The water flowing...

The endless river...

Forever and ever...
