Over the Hill Lyrics
Once we get over the hill
We'll find a library
I like the bird books best
But you can choose from a variety
And if you shake the book really fierce
Out will fly a note from me
I know we'll get there eventually
But i'm english, so bear with me
I love you
Oh, I love you
We feed ducks in the local park
And eat ice-cream, get all jittery
Not from the sugar in the dessert itself
But from what you do to me
I want us to be sewn together
On a detailed embroidery
So the distance and the water between us
Won't keep you away from me
I love you
Oh, I love you
Well, all the rivers, oceans and lakes
Try to wash you on a shore faraway
And all the miles and the months that we wait
I've packed my suitcase, I'm here to stay
Oh, I will walk across vast miles of sand
To keep wrapped up in your hands
It's just a shame that from the very beginning
You've always been her man
I love you
Oh, I love you
It's just a shame that from the very beginning
You've always been her man
We'll find a library
I like the bird books best
But you can choose from a variety
Out will fly a note from me
I know we'll get there eventually
But i'm english, so bear with me
Oh, I love you
And eat ice-cream, get all jittery
Not from the sugar in the dessert itself
But from what you do to me
I want us to be sewn together
On a detailed embroidery
So the distance and the water between us
Won't keep you away from me
Oh, I love you
Try to wash you on a shore faraway
And all the miles and the months that we wait
I've packed my suitcase, I'm here to stay
Oh, I will walk across vast miles of sand
To keep wrapped up in your hands
It's just a shame that from the very beginning
You've always been her man
Oh, I love you
You've always been her man

I love this song! Very sad in the "It's just a shame that from the very beginning you've always been her man" though :(
Lovely, but very sad, yes.
I love the image of being sewn together on a detailed embroidery...
I love the image of being sewn together on a detailed embroidery...
I think this might be my favourite Alessi song, at least lyrically. "I'm English, so bear with me..."
As for my interpretation - jetting off to America or Canada (across the Atlantic, 'the water between us') and falling for somebody who's perfect, but taken. She knows she can't have him, but she'd still follow him everywhere with this unspoken, unspeakable adoration.
