[Verse 1] Well, I got sixteen years toiling in the garden And now I know everything that can get me killed And I wouldnt believe in any pardon But theres always something over the hill [Chorus] Over the hill, far away In the sun, I will stay I will always be ready to be relieved And I know you wanted me I was happy to be free But now theres always high land to be seen [Verse 2] They say the grass is always greener over yonder They say that poppies adorn a lonely grave How the sun warms the dirt makes me wonder Is there anywhere on Earth that still feels safe? [Chorus] Over the hill, far away In the sun, I will stay I will always be ready to be relieved And I know you wanted me I was happy to be free But now theres always high land to be seen [Instrumental Break] [Chorus] Over the hill, far away In the sun, I will stay I will always be ready to be relieved And I know you wanted me I was happy to be free But now theres always high land to be seen But now theres always high land to be seen
