 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....
                                   Cm       Gm     G#     Bb 
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
 Cm                     Cm7                                 G# 
There's a hunger still unsatisfied
 Cm               Cm7                                       G# 
Our weary eyes still stray to the horizon

                                   Cm   Gm  G#  Bb 
The grass was greener...
                                   Cm(  D)  Eb  Fm(  G)  G# 
The light was brighter...
                                   Cm     Gm   G#   Bb 
The taste was sweeter...
                                   Cm   Eb(  D)  Fm(  G)  G# 
The nights of wonder...
                                   Cm   Gm   G#   Bb 
With friends surrounded...
                                   Cm(  D)  Eb  Fm(  G)  G# 
The dawn mist glowing...
                           Cm   Gm   G#  Bb 
The water flowing...
                             Cm    D)  Eb     Fm(  D)    G# 
The endless river...
                             Cm   Gm   G#   Bb 
Forever and ever...
