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
