Over The Hill

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;

Quicken your pace there

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

though I built up a wall around me

You just blew it down

And 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 clijmbing 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 stilll;

Let's have a race there, come on boy

I'll chase ou up over the hill...

Let's have a race there

I'll chase you up over the hill,"
