Over The Hilllls

AM Far Away

Made Famous By. GARY MOORE

(Q www.singtotheworld.com
They came for him
one winter's night
They said there'd been

a robbery, his pistol
had been found
They marched him to

the station house,
he waited 'til 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 sea. 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
Instrumental
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 again she'll be
Over the hills and far

away. He swears he will
return one day
As sure as the rivers
reach the seas, back in
his arms again she'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

her arms, is where
he'll be
Over the hills...

Over the hills and
far away
Over the hills...

Over the hills and
far away...
