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 with treason, clear reason, are all men guilty?

The sound of laughter ringing true, shining through your childlike 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 was 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
