Lyrics

A stone's throw from Jerusalem I walked a lonely mile in the moonlight Though a million stars were shining My heart was lost on a distant planet That whirls around the April morn Whirling in an arc of sadness I'm lost without you I'm lost without you All my kingdoms should descend And fall into the sea I'm mad about you I'm mad about you From the dark secluded valleys I heard the ancient songs of sadness And every step I thought of you Every footstep only you Every star a grain of sand The leavings of a dried-up ocean Tell me how much longer How much longer I see a city in the desert lies The vanity of an ancient king 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 You make a prison of my life When you became another's wife With all my prisons blown to dust My enemies all freed 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 dominion Over all I see It means nothing to me There are no victories In all our histories Without love A stone's throw from Jerusalem I walked a lonely mile in the moonlight Though a million stars were shining My heart was lost on a distant planet That whirls around the April morn Whirling in an arc of sadness I'm lost without you I'm lost without you Although you hold the keys to it Of everything I see With every prison blown to dust My enemies all freed And all my kingdoms should descend And fall into the sea I'm mad about you I'm mad about you I'm mad about you I'm mad about you
