Verse:
Cm Cm7 Ab
Beyond the horizon of the place we lived when we were young
Cm 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
Ab Bb G7
Along the long road and on down the causeway
Ab Bb G7
Do they still meet there by the cut.
Cm Cm7 Ab
There was a ragged band who followed in our footsteps
Cm Cm7 Ab
Running before times took our dreams away
Cm Cm7 Ab
Leaving the myriad small creatures trying to tie us to the ground
Cm Cm7 Ab
To a life consumed by slow decay
Chorus 1:
Ab Cm Gm Ab Bb
The grass was gr eener
Cm Eb Fm Ab
The light was bri ghter

Cm Gm Ab Bb
 Cm Gm Ab Bb
When friends surr ounde d
Cm Eb Fm
The nights of won der
Verse:
Cm Cm7 Ab
Looking beyond the embers of bridges glowing behind us
Cm Cm7 Ab
To a glimpse of how green it was on the other side
Cm Cm7 Ab
Steps taken forwards but sleepwalking back again
Cm Cm7 Ab
Dragged by the force of some sleeping tide
Ab Bb G7
At a higher altitude with flag unfurled
Ab Bb G7
We reached the dizzy heights of that dreamed of world
Bridge backed with snare drum:
(Nylon Strung guitar)

The water flo wing
