Beggar's Game

Beggar's Game - Dan Fogelberg

I saw her first in a beggars game

Her eyes were wild but her

Laugh was tame

Those people knew her by

Another name

I knew that shed be mine

I knew that shed be mine

She took me in on a winters 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 beggars game

Her eyes were wild but her

Laugh was tame

Those people knew her by

Another name

I knew that shed be mine

I knew that shed be mine

She took me in on a winters 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
