1. Over The Hills And Far Away |

|
| [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. |
