Beyond the horizon of the place we lived when we were young In a world filled with magnets and miracles Our thoughts strayed constantly without boundary The division bells ringing had begun Down the long road and on down the causeway Did they still meet there by the cut? There was a ragged band that followed in our footsteps Running before time took our dreams away Leaving the mirrored small creatures trying to tie us to the ground To a life consumed by slow decay The grass was greener The light was brighter With friends surrounded The nights of wonder The grass was greener The light was brighter With friends surrounded The nights of wonder The grass was greener The grass was greener The grass was greener The grass was greener 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 sleep walking back again Dragged by the force of some inner tide At a higher altitude the flag unfurled We reached the dizzy heights that dreamed of were Incumbent forever by desire and ambition There's a hunger still unsatisfied Our weary eyes looked straight at the horizon Looked down this road we've been a hundred times The grass was greener The light was brighter The grass was greener The dawn was glowing The water flowing With friends surrounded The nights of wonder The light was brighter The grass was greener Forever and ever The grass was greener The light was brighter Forever and ever The grass was greener Forever and ever The grass was greener Forever and ever The grass was greener Forever and ever The grass was greener Forever and ever The grass was greener
