The Gates of Istanbul lyrics

See there, past that far-off hill

A tower held in the sky

Hear there, in that dark blue night

The music calling us home

See there, in that far-off field

Flowers turned to the sky

Feel there, in that dark blue night

The music calling us home

Stars may always guide our way,

From desert sands where winds blow harsh and long

But here’s where our hearts will pray

And all our loves will slumber with a song

Stars may always guide our way,

From desert sands where the winds blow harsh and long

But here’s where our hearts will pray

And all our loves will slumber with a song

So now, if our hearts be true

And like a pool of truth reflect the sun

We will find right honour there

And keep us safe and lead us from all harm

Then come love, let us dance all night

Until birds they waken at the dawn

Then come love, let us sing all night

And all our loves will slumber with a song

Then come love, let us dance all night

Until birds they waken at the dawn

Then come love, let us sing all night

And all our loves will slumber with a song
