I saw her first in a beggar's game
Her eyes were wild but her
laugh was tame
Those people knew her by
another name
I knew that she'd be mine
I knew that she'd be mine.
She took me in on a winter's night
The air was brittle and the
moon was bright
My heart was heavy but her
touch was light
Deep in the dance we wandered
Deep in my heart she fell.
The candles glistened and
the water gleamed
She drew a bath and the
windows steamed
She looked like every woman
ever dreamed
In the heart of a lonely man.
In the heart of a lonely man.
She took my blindness and she
led me through
As night retreated and the
daylight grew
And with the first rays of
the sun I knew
Love had another captive
Love had another fool.
The spell is broken and the
chains fall free
Finally my heart has come home to me
It seems I've waited an eternity.
(Repeat first verse and chorus)
