It's dawn upon the mountain
The birds are flying high overhead
And I've got to cross the valley
The life I had before - it is dead

And now I'm walking the tightrope
The tightrope I've tied
I walk in the blazing sun
He's waiting there for me, this runaway bride
I've got to keep moving on

Are you praying for the sunset?
Are you begging for the dying light?
I've never longed like I do right now
Yearning only for the start of night
Don't shy away, shy away love
Don't shy away, shy away my love
all that we dared to dream
Wait for me at the end of summer

The man on the horizon
He offers me the future I crave
And there's no safety net beneath me
I'll risk it all for him and be brave

And now I'm walking the tightrope
The tightrope I've tied
I walk in the blazing sun
He's waiting there for me, this runaway bride
I've got to keep moving on

Are you praying for the sunset?
Are you begging for the dying light?
I've never longed like I do right now
Yearning only for the start of night
Don't shy away, shy away love
Don't shy away, shy away my love
all that we dared to dream
Wait for me at the end of summer

Won't look back again

Don't shy away, shy away love
Don't shy away, shy away my love
all that we dared to dream
Wait for me at the end of summer
