Istanbul
by Scot Robinson, Bobby Cameron (Scot Free Sessions)
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
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
If Rockhampton’s nice at Christmas time
I know you got all the money
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
