lyrics

We've been told our days are numbered
Suddenly you're no longer asleep in my arms
So each day you were born I swore
I'd realign the oracle's starts

I built a tower on an island
In the middle of my harbor, a strait
To keep you far away
From the poison of this cruel world and hate
But there is no place on earth
I know of that far away

If I cannot be
With you for all of your days
Or raise you up
In the Istanbul sky
Then I will be
Here for you all of my days
When the world let's you down
Beneath the Istanbul sky

I will kiss away the tears
Of your rivers and seas
Till the tide lifts your ships
When it's time to let go
The sand knows
Just when beneath us to slip

So I will hold you till that moment
And rock you in my arms
Through long nights and rough waters
There's no higher love
Than the love for a daughter
There is no higher love I know
Than my love for you daughters
