Mad About You
(Sting)

A stones'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 the 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 become another's wife.
With every prison blown to dust
My enemies walk free.
I'm mad about you, I'm mad about you.

(It should be noted that I chopped the song - can you spot the join? I doubt it, I don't know where it is now! - so these aren't the full lyrics.)
