Lyrics

[Chorus]
A stone's 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
[Verse 1]
Though all my kingdoms turn to sand
And fall into the sea
I'm mad about you
I'm mad about you
[Verse 2]
From the dark secluded valleys
I heard the ancient songs of sadness
But 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?
[Verse 3]
They say a city in the desert lies
That discovered ancient kingdom
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
[Verse 4]
With every prison blown to dust
My enemies walk free
I'm mad about you
I'm mad about you
[Verse 5]
And I have never in my life
Felt more alone than I do now
Although I claim dominions overall, I see
It means nothing to me
There are no victories
In all our histories
Without love
[Chorus]
A stone's 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
[Verse 6]
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
