Beggar's Game Composer(s): Dan Fogelberg Performer(s): Dan Fogelberg
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
