Artist/Band: Nightwish
Lyrics for Song: Over The Hills And Far Away
Lyrics for Album: Lokikirja [2010]



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 to the station house,

he waited for the dawn

And as they led him to the dock,

he knew that he'd been wronged

"You stand accused of robbery,"

he heard the bailiff say

He knew without an alibi,

tomorrow's light would mourn his freedom



Over the hills and far away,

for ten long years he'll count the days

Over the mountains and blue seas,

a prisoner's life for him there'll be



He knew that it would cost him dear,

but yet he dare not say

Where he'd been that fateful night,

a secret it must stay

He had to fight back tears of rage

His heart beat like a drum

For with the wife of his best friend,

he spent his final night of freedom



Over the hills and far away,

he swears he will return one day

Far from the mountains and blue seas,

back in her arms he swear he'll be

Over the hills and far away



Over the hills and,

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 she swears she'll be



Over the hills and far away,

he swears he will return one day

Far from the mountains and the seas

back in her arms is where he'll be



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 is where she'll be



Over the hills,

over the hills,

over the hills and far away



Over the hills,

over the hills,

over the hills and far away
