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 mineShe 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 fellThe 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 manShe 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 foolThe spell is broken and the chains fall free
Finally my heart has come home to me
It seems I've waited an eternityI 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 mineShe 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 fellThe spell is broken and the chains fall free
Finally my heart has come home to me
It seems I've waited an eternity
