Over the Hills and Far Away Nightwish

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

[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
"You stand accused of robbery"
He heard the bailiff say
He knew without an alibi
Tomorrow's light would mourn his freedom

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
He knew that it would cost him dear
But yet he dare not say
Where he had been that fateful night
A secret it must stay
