Over The Hills And Far Away
Gary Moore They came for him one winter's night. Arrested, he was bound. They said there'd been a robbery, his pistol had been found. They marched him to the station house, he waited till the dawn. he knew that he'd been wronged. And as they led him to the dock, "You stand accused of robbery," He knew without an alibi, he heard the bailiff say. tomorrow's light would mourn his freedom. Over the hills and far away, Over the mountains and the seas, for ten long years he'll count the days. a prisoner's life for him there'll be. He knew that it would cost him dear, Just where he'd been that fateful night, He had to fight back tears of rage. but yet he dare not say. a secret it must stay. His heart beat like a drum. he spent his final night of freedom. For with the wife of his best friend, Over the hills and far away, he swears he will return one day. back in her arms again he'll be. Far from the mountains and the seas, Over the hills and, Over the hills and far away. over the hills and, over the hills and far away. Each night within his prison cell, he looks out through the bars. He reads the letters that she wrote. One day he'll know the taste of freedom. Over the hills and far away, she prays he will return one day. As sure as the rivers reach the seas, back in his arms again she'll be. Over the hills and far away, back in his arms is where she'll be. he swears he will return one day. As sure as the river reach the seas, Over the hills and far away, she prays he will return one day. As sure as the rivers reach the sea, back in her arms is where he'll be. Over the hills, over the hills and far away. Over the hills, over the hills and far away |
