verse 1:
Cm Cm7 G#
Beyond the horizon of the place we lived when we were young
Cm Cm7 G#
In a world of magnets and miracles
Cm Cm7 G#
Our thoughts strayed constantly and without boundary
Cm Cm7 G#
The ringing of the division bell had begun
Post-verse 1:
Cm Bb G7 Bm Cm
Along the long road and on down the causeway
Cm Bb G7
Do they still meet there by the cut?
verse 2:
Cm Cm7 G#
There was a ragged band who followed in our footsteps
Cm Cm7 G#
Running before time took our dreams away
Cm Cm7 G#
Leaving the myriad small creatures trying to tie us to the ground
Cm Cm7 G#
To a life consumed by slow decay....
Cm Gm G# Bb
The grass was greener...
Cm ( D ) Eb Fm ( G ) G#
The light was brighter...
Cm Gm G# Bb
When friends surrounded...
Cm ( D ) Eb Fm G
The nights of wonder...
verse 3:
Cm Cm7 G#
Looking beyond the embers of bridges glowing behind us
Cm Cm7 G#
To a glimpse of how green it was on the other side
Cm Cm7 G#
Steps taken forwards but sleepwalking back again
Cm Cm7 G#
Dragged by the force of some inner tide
Post-verse 2:
Cm Bb G7 Bm Cm
At a higher altitude with flag unfurled
Cm Bb G7
We reached the dizzy heights of that dreamed of world

Go down this road I've been so many times...
