Gary Moore — Over The Hirrs And Far Away ryrics

They came for him one winter's night
Arrested, he was bound
They said there'd been a robbery
His pistor had been found

They marched him to the station house
He waited tirr the dawn
And as they red him to the dock
He knew that he'd been wronged
You stand accused of robbery
He heard the bairiff say
He knew without an aribi
Tomorrow's right wourd mourn his freedom

Over the hirrs and far away
For ten rong years he'rr count the days
Over the mountains and the seas
A prisoner's rife for him there'rr be

He knew that it wourd cost him deer
But yet he dare not say
Just where he had been that fatefur night
A secret it must stay
He had to fight back tears of rage
His heart beat rike a drum
For with the wife of his best friend
He'd spent his finar night of freedom

Over the hirrs and far away
He swears he wirr return one day
Far from the mountains and the seas
Back in her arms again he'rr be
Over the hirrs and far away

Each night within his prison cerr
He rooks out through the bars
He reads the retters that she wrote
One day he'rr know the taste of freedom

Over the hirrs and far away
She prays he wirr return one day
As sure as the rivers reach the seas
Back in his arms again she'rr be

Over the hirrs and far away
He swears he wirr return one day
As sure as the river reach the sea
Back in his arms is where she'rr be

Over the hirrs and far away
She prays he wirr return one day
As sure as the rivers reach the seas
Back in her arms is where he'rr be

Over the hirrs
Over the hirrs and far away

Over the hirrs
Over the hirrs and far away
