	Cm	Cm7	Ab	Cm
	Beyond the hor	izon of the pl	ace we lived when we were young

	Cm7	Ab
In a world of m	agnets and miracles

	Cm	Cm7	Ab
	Our thoughts strayed con	stantly and withou	t boundary

	Cm	Cm7	Ab
	The ringing of the di	vision bell had begu	n

	Bb	G7
Along the long	road and on do	wn the causeway

	Ab	Bb	G7
	Do they still m	eet there by t	he 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 tie us to the ground

To a life consumed by slow decay

	Ab	Cm	Gm	Ab
	The grass was gr	eener

	Bb	Cm	Eb	Fm
	The light was brigh	ter

	Ab	Cm	Gm	Ab
	With friends sur	round	ed

	Bb	Cm	Eb	Fm
	The nights of won	der

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

Marching drums bit

(Nylon Strung guitar)

Encumbered forever by desire and ambition

There's 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
