Away
Nightwish (Over The Hills And Far Away) Lyrics

The days were brighter
In the past, things seemed happier and more carefree.

Gardens more blooming
Nature flourished more, with greenery and flowers in full bloom.

The nights had more hope
Even in the darkness, there was an underlying sense of positivity and optimism.

In their silence The wild was calling
When everything was quiet, the untamed parts of nature would make themselves heard and beckon.

Wishes were whispering
Dreams and aspirations were softly spoken, but still within reach.

The time was there But without a meaning
There was enough time, but it felt unfulfilling or devoid of purpose.

Away, away in time
To escape from the present and its issues, one can embark on a journey either physically or mentally.

Every dream´s a journey away
One's aspirations and hopes can be realized by taking steps toward them.

Away to a home away from care
The journey can lead to a place or mindset where worries and problems don't follow.

Everywhere´s just a journey away
No matter where one is, transforming their life is simply a matter of finding the right path and taking it.

The days departed
Time has passed, and things have changed.

Gardens deserted
Nature has withered or receded.

This frail world My only rest ?
The world can be a harsh place, and yet it's the only comfort or reprieve from one's troubles.

The wild calls no more
Nature's voice is faint or non-existent, no longer beckoning as it once did.

Wishes so hollow
Dreams have become unfulfilled or meaningless.

The Barefoot Boy Weeping in an empty night
A person, likely a child or youth, is feeling lost and forlorn in a dark and empty world.

Cherish the moment
Appreciate and savor the present, since life can change suddenly and drastically.

Tower the skies
Aim high and strive for great things, reaching as high as the sky.

Don´t let the dreamer Fade to grey like grass
Don't let one's enthusiasm or optimistic outlook dwindle and grow dull like withered grass.

No falling for life A gain for every loss
Instead of being defeated by hardship, keep pushing forward and looking for positive outcomes.

Time gathered me But kept me flying
As time passed and brought change, the person adapted and found ways to keep progressing and growing.

For this gift of dream I must pay the price With the loss of life´s pleasures
Pursuing one's dreams often involves sacrifice and hard work, such as giving up enjoyable or easy things in life.
