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 (1)____________ had been found.

They marched him to the (2)______________ house,
he waited till the dawn.
And as (3)________ led him to the dock,
he knew that he'd been wronged.
"You (4)__________ (5)______________ of robbery,"
he heard the bailiff say.
He (6)________ without an alibi,
tomorrow's light would mourn his freedom.

Over the (7)__________ 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 (8)________ that it (9)__________ 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 (10)__________ beat (11)________ a drum.
For with the wife of his best friend,
he spent his (12)__________ night of freedom.

Over the hills and far away,
he (13)____________ he will (14)____________ 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 (15)__________ and,
over the (16)__________ and,
over the hills and far away.

Each night within his (17)____________ cell,
he looks out (18)______________ 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 (19)____________ one day.
As sure as the (20)____________ reach the seas,
back in his arms again she'll be.

Over the (21)__________ and far away,
he swears he will (22)____________ one day.
As (23)________ as the river reach the seas,
back in his arms is where she'll be.

Over the hills and far away,
she (24)__________ he will return one day.
As sure as the rivers (25)__________ 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.
