Beggar's Game Lyrics - Fogelberg Dan

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)
