lyrics

All our ways
And all our days
Are Banished Ways
And Vanished Ways

I saw you down by the Bosphorus
You said my life would be prosperous

You took my palm for a reading
Much more than your hand I was needing

Under the veil your beauty was hidden
And I knew our love was forbidden

But in the heat of the morning
I ignored your warning

*

Dark hair and eyes like almonds
Skin that shone like diamonds

We always met in secret
Gave my heart but you wouldn’t keep it

We followed the cats by the shoreline
Till a place of our own we could find

By the time it was evening
Nothing else had a meaning

*

Outside the Mosque we made our parting
as the evening prayers were starting

When you came to see me in my place
I saw the east had gone from face

In jeans and t-shirt like any other
But undressed once again my eastern lover

Your magic didn’t need any potion
I followed you out to the ocean
