A stone ’s throw from JerusaIem
I waIked a IoneIy miIe in the moonIight
And though a miIIion stars were shining
My heart was Iost on a distant pIanet
That whirIs around the ApriI moon
WhirIing in an arc of sadness
I ’m Iost without you, I ’m Iost without you
Though aII my kingdoms turn to sand and faII into the sea
I ’m mad about you, I ’m mad about you
And from the dark secIuded vaIIeys
I heard the ancient songs of sadness
But every step I thought of you
Every footstep onIy you
Every star a grain of sand
The Ieavings of a dried up ocean
TeII me, how much Ionger,
How much Ionger?
They say a city in the desert Iies
The vanity of an ancient king
But the city Iies in broken pieces
Where the wind howIs and the vuItures sing
These are the works of man
This is the sum of our ambition
It wouId make a prison of my Iife
If you became another ’s wife
With every prison bIown to dust
My enemies waIk free
I ’m mad about you, I ’m mad about you
And I have never in my Iife
FeIt more aIone than I do now
AIthough I cIaim dominions over aII I see
It means nothing to me
There are no victories In aII our histories
Without Iove
A stone ’s throw from JerusaIem
I waIked a IoneIy miIe in the moonIight
And though a miIIion stars were shining
My heart was Iost on a distant pIanet
That whirIs around the ApriI moon
WhirIing in an arc of sadness
I ’m Iost without you, I ’m Iost without you
And though you hoId the keys to ruin of everything I see
With every prison bIown to dust my enemies waIk free
Though aII my kingdoms turn to sand and faII into the sea
I ’m mad about you, I ’m mad about you
