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 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 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 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 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 you I'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 you 
I'm mad about you
