Verse:
CmCm7Ab
Beyond the horizon of the place we lived when we were young
CmCm7Ab
In a world of magnets and miracles
CmCm7Ab
Our thoughts strayed constantly and without boundary
CmCm7Ab
The ringing of the division bell had begun
AbBbG7
Along the long road and on down the causeway
AbBbG7
Do they still meet there by the cut.
CmCm7Ab
There was a ragged band who followed in our footsteps
CmCm7Ab
Running before times took our dreams away
CmCm7Ab
Leaving the myriad small creatures trying to tie us to the ground
CmCm7Ab
To a life consumed by slow decay
Chorus 1:
AbCmBb
The grass was greener
CmAb
The light was brighter
CmGBb
When friends surrounded
CmFm
The nights of wonder
Verse:
CmCm7Ab
Looking beyond the embers of bridges glowing behind us
CmCm7Ab
To a glimpse of how green it was on the other side
CmCm7Ab
Steps taken forwards but sleepwalking back again
CmCm7Ab
Dragged by the force of some sleeping tide
AbBbG7
At a higher altitude with flag unfurled
AbBbG7
We reached the dizzy heights of that dreamed of world
Bridge backed with snare drum:
(Nylon Strung guitar)

Verse:
CmCm7Ab
Encumbered forever by desire and ambition
CmCm7Ab
There's a hunger still unsatisfied
CmCm7Ab
Our weary eyes still stray to the horizon
CmCm7Ab
Though down this road I've been so many times
Chorus 2:
AbCmBb
The grass was greener
CmAb
The light was brighter
CmBb
The taste was sweeter
CmAb
The nights of wonder
CmBb
With friends surrounded
CmAb
The dawn mist glowing
CmBb
The water flowing
CmAb
The endless river
Forever and ever...
(Lap steel solo)
