Marc Almond She Took my Soul in Istanbul Lyrics:
Once in a night
I spent in Istanbul
I had a dream of a
forbidden world
Where even angels
Fear to look upon
A place where all
of love is doomed
to die

Her face appeared
Through clouds of bitter wine
Sour as the
morning's early
hours
She took my hair
And she curled it around
Her fingers
I was but a fool for love

The scent of Turkish oils
Mixed with the harsh tobacco
In the overcrowded bar
Hashish
And cool mint in her hair
I was a fool for love
I was a fool

She sang to me
A torch song softly laced
With mysteries Arabian
It poisoned my mind
A sickness in my soul
I tried
I didn't want to hear at all

A curtain fell
Before my eyes I did
Succumb into her
healing breast
She sang that song
I gave her all my soul
And my all
To the pleasures of the flesh

I cried that night
For those forsaken times
Those times when I was
Simply satisfied
I turned to dust
That night a thousand times
That night a
thousand times I
died inside
And through what's left
Of my sad life I hear
Her singing in the
fevers of the night

Look into the
mirror of my eyes
And tell me what you see
It's not your love I need
You'll see
Sorrow, tears and darkness
These are the pleasures
Beyond your dreams

I found myself
Down by the sea
A hundred years ago
When I was in my teens
And years go by
I turned into a man

My childhood trapped
within the sand
I crawled through life
On broken glass through hell
It seems I wakened my desires
And woke one day
Wet with the sweat of fear
Wet with the sweat of fear
As now with you

I'll reveal your mother
Come to me
I'll take you to the
safety of the womb
Tell me your secrets
Sorrow tears and darkness
Pour out your heart
Sorrow tears and darkness

You'll be a fool
A fool for love

And hell had never
seemed so good
As when I lost my soul
Became a fool for love

Help me, please to find my way
Look into the
mirror of my eyes
Your kiss has
clouded up my mind
And tell me what you see
I was a fool, a fool for love
It's not your love I need
I cried for those
forsaken times
You'll see
She took my soul in Istanbul
Sorrow tears and darkness
She left me on that
night to die
These are the
pleasures beyond
your dreams
These are the
pleasures beyond all
my dreams

I am lost
Help me to find my way
Here in a world
where angels fear
to gaze
My love is doomed to die
Alone tonight in Istanbul
And I a fool
For
Love
