Nightwish - Over The Hills And Far Away (Album Version)(2002)

[00:14.55] They came for him one winter's night
[00:18.09] Arrested, he was bound
[00:21.44] They said there'd been a robbery
[00:24.92] His pistol had been found
[00:29.00]
[00:42.72] They marched him to the station house
[00:46.38] He waited for the dawn
[00:49.77] And as they led him to the dock
[00:53.14] He knew that he'd been wronged
[00:56.86] "You stand accused of robbery"
[01:00.35] He heard the bailiff say
[01:03.74] He knew without an alibi
[01:07.20] Tomorrow's light would mourn his freedom
[01:11.06] Over the hills and far away
[01:14.41] For ten long years he'll count the days
[01:18.07] Over the mountains and blue seas
[01:21.53] A prisoner's life for him there'll be
[01:26.33]
[01:28.78] He knew that it would cost him dear
[01:31.91] But yet he dared not say
[01:35.54] Where he had been that fateful night
[01:39.32] A secret it must stay
[01:42.61] He had to fight the tears of rage
[01:46.26] His heart beat like a drum
[01:49.56] For with the wife of his best friend
[01:53.25] He spent his final night of freedom
[01:56.91] Over the hills and far away
[02:00.27] He swears he will return one day
[02:03.92] Far from the mountains and blue seas
[02:07.49] Back in her arms he swear he'll be
[02:11.03] Over the hills and far away
[02:17.68]
[02:20.72] Over the hills and...
[02:22.67] Over the hills and...
[02:24.39] Over the hills and far away
[02:29.35]
[03:10.60] Each night within his prison cell
[03:14.01] He looks out through the bars
[03:17.22] He reads the letters that she wrote
[03:20.72] One day, he'll know the taste of freedom
[03:24.50] Over the hills and far away
[03:27.69] She prays he will return one day
[03:31.26] As sure as the rivers reach the seas
[03:34.86] Back in his arms he swears she'll be
[03:38.54] Over the hills and far away
[03:41.81] He swears he will return one day
[03:45.47] Over the mountains and the seas
[03:48.91] Back in her arms is where he'll be
[03:52.52] Over the hills and far away
[03:55.84] She prays he will return one day
[03:59.44] As sure as the rivers reach the seas
[04:02.81] Back in his arms is where she'll be
[04:06.65] Over the hills
[04:10.18] Over the hills and far away
[04:13.83] Over the hills
[04:16.46] Over the hills and far away
[04:20.76]
