Look Over the Hill and Far Away
Best of the Humblebums
The Collection / The Transatlantic Years (Compilation)

Look over the hill and far away
We’ll see the start of a brand new day
Heaven help us when it arrives
One more day with tears in our eyes
For the only one, lonely one
Lonely one, where can she be?

The figure stands at the windowpane
Up to the hill he looks again
Thinking back, he knows he was wrong
How could he leave his home for so long
And he’s back to find no change of mind
He was blind, where can she be?

Why does he stand just outside the door
It does no good, he’s stood there before
And just waved his hand, I don’t understand
There’s no one there, so who can explain?

Look over the hill and far away
We’ll see the start of a brand new day
Heaven help us when it arrives
One more day with tears in our eyes
For the only one, lonely one
Lonely one, where can she be?
