1. 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 *: Along the long road and on down the causeway Do they still meet there by the cut 2. There was a ragged band that 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 R: The grass was greener The light was brighter With friends surrounded The nights of wonder 3. 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 *: Encumbered forever by desire and ambition There's a hunger still unsatisfied Our weary eyes still stray to the horizon though down this road we've been so many times R: The grass was greener The light was brighter The taste was sweeter The nights of wonder With friends surrounded The dark mist glowing The water flowing The endless river
