I’m sitting in a cafe in Istanbul 

Loneliness tugging at my soul 

Come halfway around the world 

To meet you Aussie girl

It looks like you ain’t going show 

Last week you seemed so excited 

That we’d finally meet in the flesh 

You said it would be real special 

That I was a cut above the rest 

I hope something bad didn’t happen 

Happened just before you might have left 

I think you would’ve let me know 

But I never did get your text 

(Chorus) 

The Blue Mosque sure looks pretty 

Hagia Sofia that's something too 

Think I'll smoke another cigarette 

Try to wrap my head around you 

Now I wonder if your name is really Anna 

The fare I sent you down the line 

And I wonder why I feel so lonely 

Lonely for someone I never met 

They say life is all about taking chances 

But with chances sometimes comes regret 

(Chorus) 

The Blue Mosque sure looks pretty 

Hagia Sofia that's something too 

Think I'll smoke another cigarette 

Try to wrap my head around you

I’m sitting in a cafe in Istanbul

Trying to shake this sadness from my bones

Come halfway around the world

To meet you Aussie girl

It looks like you ain't going show

Looks like you ain’t gonna show
