《Constantinople》歌词

时长： 03:42

O the minarets of Constantinople[00:00:09]

Are plated gold ivory and opal[00:00:14]

Their cupolas all onion domed and light[00:00:19]

And the magistrate of Constantinople[00:00:28]

Has made a match[00:00:34]

His family was hopeful[00:00:36]

Their daughter would be promised a wedding night[00:00:39]

But the Sultan's weary bride she won't be wed tonight[00:00:48]

Nor fall beneath a canopy to lie[00:00:58]

For far across the town her lover's lying drowned[00:01:07]

And painted by the Bosporus in blue[00:01:17]

And there's nothing for a broken heart to do[00:01:26]

Down the dirty streets of Constantinople[00:01:35]

The beggars weep their hands all wide open[00:01:41]

Their severed leper limbs all swing and sway[00:01:46]

At a windowsill in Constantinople[00:01:55]

Our Hero sighs to melodies noteful[00:02:00]

And gazes on the walls that hold his love[00:02:05]

But the Sultan's weary bride she won't be wed tonight[00:02:14]

Nor fall beneath a canopy to lie[00:02:24]

For far across the town her lover now is drowned[00:02:34]

And painted by the Bosporus in blue[00:02:44]

And there's nothing for a broken heart to do[00:02:53]

No there's nothing for a broken heart to do[00:03:03]

Except cry[00:03:12]
