Let’s Go
Let’s go to our sacred place, over the bridge where the tulips smile
Touch the silk and handmade lace and stay awhile
Let’s go to the café without a name, under the domes in mosaic shade
Drink spiced tea from a tiny glass, and nibble on the candied figs
Let’s go sit under trees by the river, the grass is lazy and the boats are distant
Read a mystical chronicle there, brushing blossom from my hair
Let’s go see my favourite castle, the one with the rocks and the princess waiting
Staring from the turret window, see the turquoise flow forever
Let’s go to the ice cream seller, eat dondurma sweet like honey
Catch the drips and laugh together, sticky hand in hand forever
Let’s go home the dusk is coming, through the streets where the lamps are swinging
Sunkissed cheeks and aching feet, let’s go home and sleep sweet dreams
