Let me watch by the fire and remember my days / And it may be a trick of the firelight / But the flickering pages that trouble my sight / Is a book I’m afraid to write

A stone’s throw from JerusalemI walked a lonely mile in the moonlightAnd through 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 my kingdoms turn to sandAnd fall into the seaI’m mad about youI’m mad about youAnd 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 became another’s wifeWith every prison blown to dustMy enemies walk freeI’m mad about youI’m mad about youAnd I have never in my lifeFelt more alone than I do nowAlthough I claim dominions over all I seeIt means nothing to meThere are no victoriesIn all our histories, without loveA stone’s throw from JerusalemI walked a lonely mile in the moonlightAnd through 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 youAnd though you hold the keys to ruinOf everything I seeWith every prison blown to dust,My enemies walk freeThough all my kingdoms turn to sandAnd fall into the seaI’m mad about youI’m mad about you

Every breath you take / Every move you make / Every bond you break / Every step you take

Strange, when you leave me, rain comes down, down, down / When you withdraw from me, towers come tumbling down, down, down / Here comes the sound that I’ve been waiting for / The sound that tells me when you’re walking out my door

I looked out across the river today / I saw a city in the fog and an old church tower / Where the seagulls play / I saw the sad shire horses walking home

There’s a moon over Bourbon Street tonightI see faces as they pass beneath the pale lamplightI’ve no choice but to follow that callThe bright lights, the people, and the moon and allI pray everyday to be strongFor I know what I do must be wrongOh you’ll never see my shade or hear the sound of my feetWhile there’s a moon over Bourbon StreetIt was many years ago that I became what I amI was trapped in this life like an innocent lambNow I can never show my face at noonAnd you’ll only see me walking by the light of the moonThe brim of my hat hides the eye of a beastI’ve the face of a sinner but the hands of a priestOh you’ll never see my shade or hear the sound of my feetWhile there’s a moon over Bourbon StreetShe walks everyday through the streets of New OrleansShe’s innocent and young from a family of meansI have stood many times outside her window at nightTo struggle with my instinct in the pale moonlightHow could I be this way when I pray to God aboveI must love what I destroy and destroy the thing I loveOh you’ll never see my shade or hear the sound of my feetWhile there’s a moon over Bourbon Street

The palace guards are all sleepingTheir fires burn into the nightThere’s a threat of rain on the dark horizonAnd all that’s left is a quarter moon of lightHe climbs up through the darknessNo weapon but his surpriseThe greatest thief in the high SaharaEnters the room where a sleeping princess liesAll your money, your pretty necklaceThis is my work on such a nightThere’s a storm coming over the mountainsI’ll be gone long before the morningAfter the rain has fallenAfter the tears have washed your eyesYou find that I’ve taken nothing, thatLove can’t replace in the blink of an eyeHe was as gentle as the night windAs no lover had been beforeAnd the rings she wore for her bride groomSlipped from her fingers and fell to the floorTake me with you, take me with youBefore my lonely life is setI’ve been promised to anotherTo a man I’ve never even metAfter the rain has fallenAfter the tears have washed your eyesYou’ll find that I’ve taken nothing, thatLove can’t replace in the blink of an eyeAfter the thunder’s spoken, andAfter the lightning bolt’s been hurledAfter the dream is broken, there’llStill be love in the worldShe said take me to another lifeTake me for a pirate’s wifeTake me where the wind blowsTake me where the red wine flowsTake me to the dangerTake me to the life of crimeTake me to the starsTake me to the moon while we still have timeAfter the rain has fallenAfter the tears have washed your eyesYou’ll find that I’ve taken nothing, thatLove can’t replace in the blink of an eyeAfter the thunder’s spoken, andAfter the lightning bolt’s been hurledAfter the dream is broken, there’llStill be love in the worldStill be love in the world

A thousand years, a thousand more / A thousand times a million doors to eternity / I may have lived a thousand lives, a thousand times / An endless turning stairway climbs

hathe mada tawila / wa ana nahos ana wahala ghzalti / wa ana nahos ana wahala ghzalti / wa ana nahos ana wahala ghzalti

The very thought of you makes / My heart sing / Like an April breeze / On the wings of spring
