[Motive]
[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
[Verse v2]
    Cm                Ab       G7sus4              G       G7/Bb
    Along the long road and on down the causeway
    Cm               Ab                G7sus4    G
    Do they still meet there by the cut

[Verse]
    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

[Chorus]
    The grass was greener
    The light was brighter
    When friends surrounded
    The nights of wonder

[Verse]
    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
[Verse v2]
    At a higher altitude with flag unfurled
    We reached the dizzy heights of that dreamed of world

[Bridge]
[Motive only 2x]

[Verse]
    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

[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
    The endless river

    Forever and ever...
