A stone's throw from Jerusalem I walked a lonely mile in the moodlight And though a million stars were shining My heart was lost on a distance 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 hear 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 howls and the vultures sing These are the works of man This is a the sin of our ambition It would make a prison of my life If you became another wife Every prison blown to dust My ennemies 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 stone's throw from Jerusalem I walked a lonely mile in the moodlight And though a million stars were shining My heart was lost on a distance planet That whirls around the april moon Whirling in an arc of sadness I'm lost without you I'm lost without you Instrumental :      (x3)                Though you hold the keys to ruin of everything I see And every prison blown to dust my ennemies walk free Though all my kingdoms turn to sand and fall into the sea I'm mad about you I'm mad about you

À propos de la chanson

La chanson évoque un profond sentiment de solitude et de perte, où le narrateur se trouve dans un paysage à la fois beau et mélancolique. Malgré la splendeur des étoiles et la beauté de la nuit, son cœur erre loin, tournant autour d'un amour qui lui échappe. Chaque pas qu'il fait le ramène à sa douleur, et il se rend compte que tout ce qu'il possède, tout pouvoir ou royaume, devient insignifiant sans cette personne qu'il aime tant. Ce conflit entre ses ambitions et le vide qu'il ressent sans cet amour le plonge dans une réflexion amère sur la nature humaine et les véritables valeurs de la vie. Le contexte de cette chanson peut être vu comme une méditation sur l’amour, la perte et les conséquences de nos choix. Elle évoque également les ruines et les échecs de la civilisation, soulignant que malgré nos efforts et nos conquêtes, le véritable bonheur repose sur la connexion humaine et l’amour.
