A stone's throw from Jerusalem
|
I walked a lonely mile in the moonlight
|
And through a million stars were shining
|
My heart was lost on a distant planet
|
That whirls around the April moon
|
Whirling in an arc of sadness
|
I'm lost without youI'm lost without you
|
Though all my kingdoms turn to sand
|
And fall into the sea
|
I'm mad about youI'm mad about you
|
And from the dark secluded valleys
|
I heard the ancient songs of sadness
|
But every step I thought of you
|
Every footstep only you
|
And every star a grain of sand
|
The leavings of a dried up ocean
|
Tell me, how much longer? How much longer?
|
They say a city in the desert lies
|
The vanity of an ancient king
|
But the city lies in broken pieces
|
Where the wind howls and the vultures sing
|
These are the works of man
|
This is the sum of our ambition
|
It would make a prison of my life
|
If you became another's wife
|
With every prison blown to dust
|
My enemies walk free
|
I'm mad about youI'm mad about you
|
And I have never in my life
|
Felt more alone than I do now
|
Although I claim dominions over all I see
|
It means nothing to me
|
There are no vitories
|
In all our histories, without love
|
A stone's throw from Jerusalem
|
I walked a lonely mile in the moonlight
|
And through a million stars were shining
|
My heart was lost on a distant planet
|
That whirls around the April moon
|
Whirling in an arc of sadness
|
I'm lost without youI'm lost without you
|
And though you hold the keys to ruin
|
Of everything I see
|
With every prison blown to dust,
|
My enemies walk free
|
Though all my kingdoms turn to sand
|
And fall into the sea
|
I'm mad about youI'm mad about you
|
