[Verse 1]

Am Am7 F
Beyond the horizon of the place we lived when we were young
Am Am7 F
In a world of magnets and miracles
Am Am7 F
Our thoughts strayed constantly and without boundary
Am Am7 F
The ringing of the division bell had begun

long the long road and on down the causeway
o they still meet there by the cut

[Verse 2]

Am Am7 F
There was a ragged band who followed in our footsteps
Am Am7 F
Running before times took our dreams away
Am Am7 F
Leaving the myriad small creatures trying to tie us to the ground
Am Am7 F
To a life consumed by slow decay

[Chorus 1]

The grass was greener
The light was brighter
When friends surrounded
The nights of wonder

[Verse 3]

Am Am7 F
Looking beyond the embers of bridges glowing behind us
Am Am7 F
To a glimpse of how green it was on the other side
Am Am7 F
Steps taken forwards but sleepwalking back again
Am Am7 F
Dragged by the force of some inner tide

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

[Verse 4]

Am Am7 F
Encumbered forever by desire and ambition
Am Am7 F
There’s a hunger still unsatisfied
Am Am7 F
Our weary eyes still stray to the horizon
Am Am7 F
Go down this road I’ve been so many times

[Chorus 2]

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

(Epic Lap steel solo)
