verse 1:
CmCm7G#
Beyond the horizon of the place we lived when we were young
CmCm7G#
In a world of magnets and miracles
CmCm7G#
Our thoughts strayed constantly and without boundary
CmCm7G#
The ringing of the division bell had begun
Post-verse 1:
CmBbG7BmCm
Along the long road and on down the causeway
CmBbG7
Do they still meet there by the cut?
verse 2:
CmCm7G#
There was a ragged band who followed in our footsteps
CmCm7G#
Running before time took our dreams away
CmCm7G#
Leaving the myriad small creatures trying to tie us to the ground
CmCm7G#
To a life consumed by slow decay....
CmGmG#Bb
The grass was greener...
Cm ( D ) EbFm ( G ) G#
The light was brighter...
CmGmG#Bb
When friends surrounded...
Cm ( D ) EbFmG
The nights of wonder...
verse 3:
CmCm7G#
Looking beyond the embers of bridges glowing behind us
CmCm7G#
To a glimpse of how green it was on the other side
CmCm7G#
Steps taken forwards but sleepwalking back again
CmCm7G#
Dragged by the force of some inner tide
Post-verse 2:
CmBbG7BmCm
At a higher altitude with flag unfurled
CmBbG7
We reached the dizzy heights of that dreamed of world

verse 4:
CmCm7G#
Encumbered forever by desire and ambition
CmCm7G#
There's a hunger still unsatisfied
CmCm7G#
Our weary eyes still stray to the horizon
CmCm7G#
Go down this road I've been so many times...
CmGmG#Bb
The grass was greener...

The light was brighter...

The nights of wonder...

With friends surrounded...
Cm ( D ) EbFm ( G ) G#
The dawn mist glowing...

The water flowing...

The endless river...
CmGmG#Bb
Forever and ever...
