Over The Hills And Far Away Lyrics - Over The Hills And Far Away - Nightwish

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 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 he swears she'll be 

Over the hills and far away 

He swears he will return one day 

Over 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 sea 

Back in his arms is where she'll be 

Over the hills 

Over the hills and far away 

Over the hills 

Over the hills and far away
