Lyrics

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 Oh, 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 Oh, Istanbul Give me back my brown-eyed son

On secret streets in disbelief Little shadow shows the lead Prostitutes; stylish and blonde 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
