Over the Hills & Far Away Songtext
von The Mission

A fleeting glance
Upon your silken face Medusa
And you can turn
My heart and soul to stone
Thank you for the memory
The lasting first impression
Thank you for the steel
That cuts to the bone

Over the hills and far away
There′s a place that's paradise
Where we walked, walked, walked, walked
Walked on in
Talked, talked, talked, talked
Of sharing dreams


Up and away
Where angels dread to tread
Brave rolling thunder
And snow storms and pie in the sky
Tangled skein
Of the marriage made in heaven
Oh, why did you?
Why did you let all the flowers die?

Over the hills and far away
There′s a place that's heaven
Where yours was the first kiss
And yours was the last kiss
Over the hills and far away
There's a place that′s paradise
Where we walked, walked, walked, walked
Walked on in
Talked, talked, talked, talked
Of sharing dreams

Higher and higher to treason
Clear reason, are all men guilty?
The sound of laughter ringing true
Shining through your child-like eyes
Sacred hearts, epitaphs
Touched by winds of change
Oh, why did you?
How could you let all the flowers die?


Over the hills and far away
There′s a place that's heaven
Where yours was the first kiss
And yours is the last kiss

Over the hills and far away
There′s a place that's heaven
Where yours was the first kiss
The everlasting kiss

Over the hills and far away
There′s a place that's paradise
Where we walked, walked, walked, walked
Walked on in
Talked, talked, talked, talked
Of sharing dreams
