Dan Fogelberg Beggar's Game song 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
