1. Beyond the horizon of the place we lived when we were young
Ami Ami7 F
In a world of magnets and miracles
Ami Ami7 F
Our thoughts strayed constantly and without boundary
Ami Ami7 F
The ringing of the division bell had begun
Ami G E7
*: Along the long road and on down the causeway
Ami G E7
Do they still meet there by the cut
2. There was a ragged band that followed in our footsteps
Running before time took our dreams away
Leaving the myriad small creatures trying
to tie us to the ground
To a life consumed by slow decay

R: The grass was greener
G Ami CDmi
The light was brighter
F Ami EF
With friends surrounded
G Ami CG
The nights of wonder
3. 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 we've been so many times
R: The grass was greener
The light was brighter
The taste was sweeter
The nights of wonder
With friends surrounded
The dark mist glowing
The water flowing
The endless river
Forever and ever...
