Mad about you
A stone's throw from JerusalemI walked a lonely mile in the moonlightAnd though a million stars were shiningMy heart was lost on a distant planetThat whirls around the April moonWhirling in an arc of sadnessI'm lost without youI'm lost without youThough all the kingdoms turn to sandAnd fall into the seaI'm mad about youI'm mad about you
And from the dark secluded valleysI heard the ancient songs of sadnessBut every step I thought of youEvery footstep only youAnd every star a grain of sandThe leavings of a dried up oceanTell me, how much longer?How much longer?
They say a city in the desert liesThe vanity of an ancient kingBut the city lies in broken piecesWhere the wind howls and the vultures singThese are the works of manThis is the sum of our ambitionIt would make a prison of my lifeIf you become another's wifeWith every prison blown to dustMy enemies walk freeI'm mad about youI'm mad about you
And I have never in my lifeFelt more alone than I do nowAlthough I claim dominations over all I seeIt means nothing to meThere are no victoriesIn all our histories without love
And though you hold the keys to ruin of everything I seeWith every prison blown to dustMy enemies walk freeThough all the kingdoms turn to sandAnd fall into the seaI'm mad about youI'm mad about you
