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 air
and talked, talked, talked, talked of sharing dreams
Up and away, where angels dread to tread
great rolling thunder and snow storms and pie in the sky
Tangled skein of a marriage made in heaven
Oh why did you, why did you let all my 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 air
and talked, talked, talked, talked of sharing dreams
Higher and higher sheer treason clear reason for all
men guilty
The sound of laughter ringing true, shining
through your childlike eyes
Sacred hearts, and epitaphs, touched by winds of change
Oh why did you, how could you let all my 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 air
and talked, talked, talked, talked of sharing dreams
