Nightwish-Over the Hills and far away

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 for 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 had 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'd 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 he swears he lies.
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 he swear she lies.

Over the hills and far away,
he swears he will return one day.
Far from the mountains and the seas
back in her arms he swear he lies.

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 he swears she lies.

Over the hills.
Over the hills and far away.

Over the hills.
Over the hills and far away.

Great song ^_^ and can people not start arguing about which Nightwish is better?

Annette is a good singer (not nearly as much as Tarja in my opinion) and I don't see why people keep saying she can't sing or she should die and all that V_V

[Anusia1992]

you're absolutly right:)

:):)

[RockMusicIsPerfect]

One of my fovorites from Nightwish (with Tarja, cause I don't like Nightwish with Anette)!!!

[Anusia1992]

hmm I like Nightwish with Tarja more but I love one song with Anette-"Bye Bye Beautiful"

[freaxx009]

PICK ONE

[SpiritStalker007]

i think they are both great. i love the deep opera voice Tarja has, but i like the lightness in Annettes voice. they both have pros and cons, and good songs and bad songs. get over it. i love both Nightwishes.
