Beggar's Game

Lyrics

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