(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 heard the bailiff say.
He knew without an alibi,
Tomorrow's light would mourn his freedom.
Over the hills and far away,
For ten long years he'll count the days.
Over the mountains and the seas,
A prisoner's life for him there'll be.
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,
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 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,
Back in his arms is where she'll be.
Over the hills and far away,
She prays he will return one day.
As sure as the rivers reach the sea,
Back in her arms is where he'll be.
Over the hills,
Over the hills and far away.
Over the hills,
Over the hills and far away.
Gary Moore (Robert William Gary Moore, 1952-2011) was an Irish guitarist, singer, and songwriter of international fame. Considered one of the greatest blues rock guitarists of all time, he went through several musical phases, from the hard rock of the 1970s to the electric blues of the 1980s and 1990s. He began his career in the early 1970s with Skid Row, a band that launched him into the British music scene. Subsequently, he collaborated with artists such as Thin Lizzy and Phil Lynott, contributing to defining the sound of Irish rock. In the 1980s, he dedicated himself to blues, releasing highly successful albums like "Still Got the Blues" (1990) and "After Hours" (1992), which consecrated him as a master of the genre. Among his most famous songs are "Parisienne Walkways", "Over the Hills and Far Away" and "The Sky Is Crying".

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
