I'm standing on top of a mountain high
Beauty of the land stands lies before my eyes
But what's the land to me or colors of the sky
Cause I can't breathe until I'm safe in my lover's arms

I woke up before dawn I tossed and turned all night
Cause I reached out for him and him I would not find
River take me there, where my soul can fly
Cause I can't rest until I'm safe in my lover's arms

Mother hold me close, send me on my way
Without the one I love I can no longer stay
I followed moon and sun my heart and shining stars
And I won't stop until I'm safe in my lover's arms
How I long to be safe in my lover's arms
