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 tieus 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
When 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 sleeping tide

at a higher altitude with flag unfurled
We reached the dizzy heights of that dreamed of world

Marching drums bit
(Nylon Strung guitar)

Encumbered forever by desire and ambition
Theres 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...
