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
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 the seas,
A prisoner's life for him there'll be
He knew that it would cost him dear,
But yet he dare not say
Just 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 the seas,
Back in her arms again he'll be
Over the hills and far away
Over the hills and,
Over the hills and,
Over the hills and far away
Eac
