Over The Hill

Polly Paulusma


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 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, aaiming 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
