Lyrics Over the Hills and Far Away (12" version) - Gary Moore

Over the hills and far away,
For ten long years he′ll count the days.
Over the mountains and the seas,
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,
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 again she'll be.
Over the hills and far away,
He swears he will return one day.
As sure as the river reach the seas,
Over the hills and far away,
She prays he will return one day.
As sure as the rivers reach the sea,
Over the hills and far away.
Over the hills and far away.
