Dear Reader,

The preceeding story was inspired by (and based on) Nightwish's fabulous song Over the Hills and Far Away. It was also co-written with BizzareLoveTriangle. ^^ For those of you who actually care, the lyrics to the song are below.

Thank you,
Aubrey

Over the Hills and Far Away (Nightwish)

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 for the dawn
And as they led him to the dock
He knew that he'd been wronged

"You stand accused of robber"
He heard the bailiff say
He knew without and alibi
Tomorrow’s light would mourn his freedom

Over the hills and far away
For ten long years he’ll count the days
Far from the mountains and the sea
A prisoner’s life for him there’ll be

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

He had to fight back tears of rage
His heart beat like a drum
For with the wife of his best friend
He 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 is where he’ll be
Over the hills and far away…

Over the hills…
Over the hills…
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 is where she’ll be

Over the hills and far away
He swears he will return one day
Far from the mountains and the seas
Back in his arms is where he’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 his arms is where she’ll be

Over the hills…Over the hills and far away
Over the hills…
Over the hills and far away
