Nightwish - Over The Hills And Far Away Lyrics

Complimentary "Over The Hills And Far Away" Ringtone

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
