Standard Tuning EADGBe
Beyond the horizon of the place we lived when we were young
In a world of magnets and miracles
Our thoughts strayed constantly and without boundary
The ringing of the division bell had begun
Post-Verse 1:
Along the long road and on down the causeway
Do they still meet there by the cut?
There was a ragged band who 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....
The grass was greener...
( ) ( )
The light was brighter...
When friends surrounded...
( )
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 inner tide
Post-Verse 2:
At a higher altitude with flag unfurled
We reached the dizzy heights of that dreamed of world
[Instrumental Break]
[Play intro]
Encumbered forever by desire and ambition
There's a hunger still unsatisfied
Our weary eyes still stray to the horizon
Go down this road I've been so many times...
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...
