Over The Hill Lyrics

Over The Hill lyrics

Take me back to the evening that it all began

There was you and me

And some drunkards in a black London taxi cab



And we said, driver, over the hill

There's a place where time stands still

I quicken your pace there

Put your foot down, driver, get us up over the hill



Though I built up a wall around me, you just blew it down

And my mother always told me

That you'd come and dig me out of here somehow



She told me somewhere, over the hill

There's a place where time stands still

Follow your fate there but don't rush it

You've got time to get over the hill



Climbing higher, got no place to rest

I'm just climbing higher, aiming for the mountain crest

It's up there, the panacea, come and see for yourself



I've got nothing for you but kisses

And a pocketful of rye

But I see our unborn children

In the apple of your eye



And I say, darling, over the hill

There's a place where time stands still

Let's have a race there, come on, boy

I'll chase you up over the hill



Let's have a race there

I'll chase you up over the hill
