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
Though all my kingdoms turn to sand - And fall into the sea
I'm mad about you - I'm mad about you

In the dark secluded valley
I heard the ancient songs of sadness
With 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?

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 sim 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

I`ve 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 victories - In all our histories, without love

A un passo da Gerusalemme
e a un solo miglio dalla luna
sotto un cielo di milioni di stelle
ho il cuore perso in un pianeta lontano
che gira intorno e cade giù
con archi di tristezza
io muoio per te – muoio per te !

E anche se hai le chiavi
e distruggi quel che ho
Ogni prigione in polvere – nemici più non ho
I regni miei di sabbia che
che vanno in fondo al mare
io muoio per te – muoio per te !
