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 up 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, aiming 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
