Ed Harcourt - Don't Shy Away lyrics

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 Remember 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 Remember 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 Remember all that we dared to dream Wait for me at the end of summer
