A stones throw from jerusalem
i walked a lonely mile in the moonlight
and though 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 you,i'm lost without you.
though all my kingdoms turn to sand and fall into the sea.
i'm mad about you, i'm mad about you.
And from the dark secluded valleys
i heard the ancient songs of sadness
but everystep 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 you, i'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 victories
in all our histories-- without love.
A stones throw from jerusalem
i walked a lonely mile in the moonlight
and though 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 you,i'm lost without you.
And though you hold the keys of 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 you, i'm mad about you.
