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 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
