1. 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 till 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 deer
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 again he'll be
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 again she'll be.

Over the hills and far away
He swears he will return one day
As sure as the river reach the sea
Back in his arms is where she'll be.

Over the hills and far away
She prays he will return one day
As sure as the rivers reach the seas
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.


2. CRYING IN THE SHADOWS

Sometimes he sees her walking by
He never looks her in the eye
She doesn't know, she doesn't care
What he is feeling.

And as she turns to walk away
There is nothing he can say
She doesn't know
Why should she care?
When he's alone, she's never there
to see him.

Crying in the shadows
Of a love he used to know
But now it's all over
Crying in the shadows
Of someone he called his own
But now he's all alone again.

Sometimes she sees him walking by
She never looks him in the eye
He doesn't know, he doesn't care
What she is feeling.

As he turns to walk away
There is nothing she can say
He doesn't know
Why should he care?
When she's alone, he's never there
He leaves her

Crying in the shadows
Of a love she used to know
But now it's all over
Crying in the shadows
Of someone she called her own
But now she's all alone again.

Well, he can see it in her eyes
And she can fell it in her heart
Yes, they can feel it in their hearts
It's tearing them apart
Over and over again.

Crying in the shadows
Of a love he used to know
But now it's all over
Crying in the shadows
Of someone she called her own
But now she's all alone.

Crying in the shadows
Of a love they used to know
But now it's all over
Crying in the shadows
Of a love they used to know
But now they're all alone again.

Crying in the shadows
Crying in the shadows, of love (x5)


3. ALL MESSED UP

The party's over
I can't drink no more
My head is hurtin'
I'm looking for the door
But it's so hard to find
So hard to find.

Walk to my car on my hands and my knees
Hand in my pocket
I'm looking for the keys
But they're so hard to find.

Look at my son, he's no friend of mine
Reach for my shades before I go blind
Maybe tomorrow I don't wanna know
All messed up with no place to go.

I'm seeing double
The whisky's to blame
I'm having trouble remembering my name
So hard to tell, it's so hard to tell.

Can't get no sleep
There's a quarrel and fight
I'm not sure if I'm dead or alive
So hard to tell.

Look at my son
He's no friend of mine
Reach for my shades before I go blind
Maybe tomorrow I don't wanna know
All messed up with no place to go.

I can't believe it's really me in the mirror
Feel like I'm falling off the rails
looks like a hellhouse on my tail.

Look at my son
He's no friend of mine
Reach for my shades before I go blind
Maybe tomorrow I don't wanna know
All messed up with no place to go

All messed up with no place to go
All messed up with no place to go
All messed up with no place to go.

All messed up
All messed up
All messed up with no place to go
All messed up with no place to go.

Sometimes he sees her walking by
He never looks her in the eye
She doesn't know, she doesn't care
What he is feeling.

And as she turns to walk away
There is nothing he can say

When he's alone, she's never there
To see him.

Crying in the shadows
Of a love he used to know
But now it's all over
Crying in the shadows
Of someone he called his own
But now he's all alone again.

Sometimes she sees him walking by

Crying in the shadows
Crying in the shadows, of love.

Crying in the shadows
Crying in the shadows, of love.

Crying in the shadows
Crying in the shadows, of love.

2. OUT IN THE FIELDS

It doesn't matter
If you're wrong or if you're right
It makes no difference
If you're black or if you're white.

All men are equal
Till the victory is won
No colour or religion
Ever stopped the bullet from a gun.

Out in the fields
The fighting has begun
Out on the streets
They're falling one by one
Out from the skies
A thousand more will die each day
Death is just a heartbeat away

It doesn't matter
If you're left or to the right
Don't try to hide behind the cause
They want to fight.

There'll be no prisoners taken
When the day is done
No flag, no uniform
Ever stopped the bullet from a gun.

Out in the fields
The fighting has begun
Out on the streets
They're falling one by one
Out from the skies
A thousand more will die each day
Death is just a heartbeat away.

There's no communication
No one to take the blame
The cries of every nation
They're falling on deaf ears again.

Out in the fields
Out in the fields
They're falling one by one
Out in the fields
No flag has ever stopped
The bullet from a gun.

Death is just a heartbeat away
Out in the fields
A heartbeat away
Out in the fields
Death is just a heartbeat away
Out in the fields
A heartbeat away
Out in the fields.

In the fields
The fighting has begun
Out on the streets
They're falling one by one
Out from the skies
A thousand more will die each day.

Out!!
