The Gates of Istanbul Lyrics

Music and lyric by Loreena McKennittSee there, past that far-off hill
A tower held in the sky
Hear there, in that dark blue night
The music calling us homeSee there, in that far-off field
Flowers turned to the sky
Feel there, in that dark blue night
The music calling us homeStars may always guide our way,
From desert sands where winds blow harsh and long
But here's where, where our hearts will pray
And all our loves will slumber with a songStars may always guide our way,
From desert sands where winds blow harsh and long
Here's where our hearts will pray
And all our loves will slumber with a songSo now, if our hearts be true
And like a pool of truth reflect the sun
We will find right honour there
And keep us safe and lead us from all harmSo come love, let us dance all night
Until the birds they waken at the dawn
Then come love, let us sing all night

And all our loves will slumber with a songThen come love, let us dance all night
Until the birds they waken at the dawn
Then come love, let us sing all night
And all our loves will slumber with a song
