Song lyrics
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

The instrumental in that song is really nice!

I like this, but it's no tmy fave - that's either Nightquest, Angels Fall First, Slaying the Dreamer or Ghost Love Score. I do love it though, don't get me wrong!

This is one of my all time favourites.

So many memores. I firetwirled to this song at my very first public performance. I love the instrumental in it...the Celtic like instruments. It's beautiful.

Nightwish are my favourite band, I'm going to their concert in March.

i really hope you guys are kidding... I mean, compare this to gary moores... This is worthless compare to that. Like i from 1 of you. Original is ALWAYS better. And don't tell me i think this because you think I dislike Nightwish, i like them but i have to say that this is one of their crappiest songs. The only thinks that are good are everything excpet her voice in this song... sounds SO ugly. So, if u change her voic to Gary Moores... AWESOME SONG!!!!!!!!!!

Thats one of the best song of Nightwish (even Tuomas hadn't written it). Tarjas voice is so amazing!

The way Tarja sings it just perfect.
