[00:14.34][a Gary Moore cover tune]
[00:14.64]They came for him one winter's night.
[00:17.85]Arrested, he was bound.
[00:21.36]They said there'd been a robbery,
[00:24.82]his pistol had been found.
[00:42.71]They marched him to the station house,
[00:46.22]he waited for the dawn.
[00:49.49]And as they led him to the dock,
[00:52.99]he knew that he'd been wronged.
[00:56.92]"You stand accused of robbery,"
[01:00.10]he heard the bailiff say.
[01:03.59]He knew without an alibi,
[01:07.01]tomorrow's light would mourn his freedom.
[01:10.82]Over the hills and far away,
[01:14.01]for ten long years he'll count the days.
[01:17.74]Over the mountains and the seas,
[01:21.32]a prisoner's life for him there'll be.
[01:28.75]He knew that it would cost him dear,
[01:31.89]but yet he dare not say.
[01:35.36]Where he had been that fateful night,
[01:38.69]a secret it must stay.
[01:42.71]He had to fight back tears of rage.
[01:45.88]His heart beat like a drum.
[01:49.43]For with the wife of his best friend,
[01:52.68]he spent his final night of freedom.
[01:56.48]Over the hills and far away,
[01:59.88]he swears he will return one day.
[02:03.40]Far from the mountains and the seas,
[02:06.88]back in her arms he swears he'll be.
[02:10.70]Over the hills and far away.
[02:23.90]Over the hills and,
[02:25.34]over the hills and,
[02:26.71]over the hills and far away.
[03:09.74]Each night within his prison cell,
[03:13.15]he looks out through the bars.
[03:16.50]He reads the letters that she wrote.
[03:20.09]One day he'll know the taste of freedom.
[03:23.70]Over the hills and far away,
[03:26.86]she prays he will return one day.
[03:30.58]As sure as the rivers reach the seas,
[03:33.89]back in his arms he swears she'll be.
[03:37.76]Over the hills and far away,
[03:41.17]he swears he will return one day.
[03:44.74]Far from the mountains and the seas,
[03:47.97]back in her arms he swears he'll be.
[03:51.84]Over the hills and far away,
[03:55.02]she prays he will return one day.
[03:58.59]As sure as the rivers reach the seas,
[04:02.12]back in his arms is where she'll be.
[04:06.73]Over the hills,
[04:10.42]over the hills and far away.
[04:12.93]Over the hills,
[04:16.63]over the hills and far away.
