She Took My Soul In Istanbul |
| Once in a night |
| I spent in Istanbul |
| I had a dream of a forbidden world |
| Where even angels |
| Fear to look upon |
| A place where all of love is doomed to die |
| Her face appeared |
| Through clouds of bitter wine |
| Sour as the morning’s early hours |
| She took my hair |
| And she curled it around |
| Her fingers |
| I was but a fool for love |
| The scent of Turkish oils |
| Mixed with the harsh tobacco |
| In the overcrowded bar |
| Hashish |
| And cool mint in her hair |
| I was a fool for love |
| I was a fool |
| She sang to me |
| A torch song softly laced |
| With mysteries Arabian |
| It poisoned my mind |
| A sickness in my soul |
| I tried |
| I didn’t want to hear at all |
| A curtain fell |
| Before my eyes I did |
| Succumb into her healing breast |
| She sang that song |
| I gave her all my soul |
| And my all |
| To the pleasures of the flesh |
| I cried that night |
| For those forsaken times |
| Those times when I was |
| Simply satisfied |
| I turned to dust |
| That night a thousand times |
| That night a thousand times I died inside |
| And through what’s left |
| Of my sad life I hear |
| Her singing in the fevers of the night |
| Look into the mirror of my eyes |
| And tell me what you see |
| It’s not your love I need |
| You’ll see |
| Sorrow, tears and darkness |
| These are the pleasures |
| Beyond your dreams |
| I found myself |
| Down by the sea |
| A hundred years ago |
| When I was in my teens |
| And years go by |
| I turned into a man |
| My childhood trapped within the sand |
| I crawled through life |
| On broken glass through hell |
| It seems I wakened my desires |
| And woke one day |
| Wet with the sweat of fear |
| Wet with the sweat of fear |
| As now with you |
| I’ll reveal your mother |
| Come to me |
| I’ll take you to the safety of the womb |
| Tell me your secrets |
| Sorrow tears and darkness |
| Pour out your heart |
| Sorrow tears and darkness |
| You’ll be a fool |
| A fool for love |
| And hell had never seemed so good |
| As when I lost my soul |
| Became a fool for love |
| Help me, please to find my way |
| Look into the mirror of my eyes |
| Your kiss has clouded up my mind |
| And tell me what you see |
| I was a fool, a fool for love |
| It’s not your love I need |
| I cried for those forsaken times |
| You’ll see |
| She took my soul in Istanbul |
| Sorrow tears and darkness |
| She left me on that night to die |
| These are the pleasures beyond your dreams |
| These are the pleasures beyond all my dreams |
| I am lost |
| Help me to find my way |
| Here in a world where angels fear to gaze |
| My love is doomed to die |
| Alone tonight in Istanbul |
| And I a fool |
| For |
| Love |
