Over The Hills And Far Away by Gary Moore
They came for him one winter's night.
Arrested, he was bound.
They said there'd been a robbery,
his pistol had been found.
They marched him to the station house,
he waited till the dawn.
And as they led him to the dock,
he knew that he'd been wronged.
"You stand accused of robbery,"
he (1)__________ the (2)______________ say.
He knew (3)______________ an alibi,
tomorrow's light would mourn his freedom.
Over the (4)__________ and far away,
for ten long years he'll count the days.
Over the (5)__________________ and the seas,
a prisoner's life for him there'll be.
He (6)________ that it (7)__________ cost him dear,
but yet he (8)________ not say.
Just (9)__________ he'd been that (10)______________ night,
a (11)____________ it (12)________ stay.
He had to fight back tears of rage.
His (13)__________ beat like a drum.
For (14)________ the wife of his best friend,
he (15)__________ 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,
back in her arms again he'll be.
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 (16)________ she wrote.
One day he'll know the taste of freedom.
Over the hills and far away,
she (17)__________ he (18)________ return one day.
As sure as the rivers reach the seas,
back in his (19)________ again she'll be.
Over the (20)__________ and far away,
he (21)____________ he will (22)____________ one day.
As sure as the river reach the seas,
back in his arms is (23)__________ she'll be.
Over the (24)__________ and far away,
she prays he will return one day.
As sure as the rivers (25)__________ the sea,
back in her arms is (26)__________ he'll be.
Over the hills,
over the hills and far away.
Over the hills,
over the hills and far away.
