| 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 |
