<poem> | |||
When he first cried his mother died | |||
I had tried to be his guide | |||
when he was born I was too young | |||
the father searches for the son | |||
in Istanbul | |||
give him back to me | |||
Istanbul, give me back my brown-eyed son | |||
Moonlight jumping through the trees | |||
sunken eyes avoiding me | |||
from dawn to dusk the hunt is on | |||
the father searches for the son | |||
in Istanbul | |||
give him back to me | |||
Istanbul, give me back my brown-eyed son | |||
On secret streets in disbelief | |||
Little Shadow shows the lead | |||
Prostitutes stylish and glum | |||
in amongst them you are one | |||
oh, what have I done? | |||
Rolling breathless off the tongue | |||
The vicious street gang slang | |||
I lean into a box of pine | |||
identify the kid as mine. | |||
