Look Over the Hill and Far Away
Quest for Reunion: Seeking the Lost Love Beyond the Hills
Lyrics
Look over the hill and far away
Expresses the act of looking into the distance, symbolizing hope and anticipation.
We'll see the start of a brand new day
Anticipation of a new beginning or opportunity.
Heaven help us when it arrives
Anxiety or concern about the arrival of the new day.
One more day with tears in our eyes
Acknowledgment of the emotional pain or challenges faced in the current day.
For the only one, lonely one
Refers to an individual who is the focus of the singer's emotions.
Lonely one, where can she be?
Expresses the search for someone important who is currently missing or distant.
The figure stands at the windowpane
Introduction of a character observing from a window.
Up to the hill he looks again
Continuation of observation, emphasizing the act of looking towards a hill.
Thinking back, he knows he was wrong
Regretful reflection on past actions, admitting a mistake.
How could he leave his home for so long
Questioning the decision to leave home for an extended period.
And he's back to find no change of mind
Return home to find no change in the other person's feelings.
He was blind, where can she be?
Realization of past blindness or mistakes in the relationship.
Why does he stand just outside the door
Description of the character standing outside a door, indicating a barrier.
It does no good, he's stood there before
Recognition that standing outside the door has not been effective in the past.
And just waved his hand, I don't understand
Confusion or frustration about the situation, questioning the lack of understanding.
There's no one there, so who can explain?
Noticing the absence of a person inside, leading to further confusion.
Look over the hill and far away
Repetition of the theme of looking into the distance with hope.
We'll see the start of a brand new day
Reiteration of anticipation for a new day.
Heaven help us when it arrives
Continued anxiety or concern about the arrival of the new day.
One more day with tears in our eyes
Acknowledgment of ongoing emotional challenges.
For the only one, lonely one
Repetition of the focus on the one person who is the source of loneliness.
Lonely one, where can she be?
Expresses the ongoing search for the missing person.
