Constantinople from Usual Alias by Lee Desty

Constantinople

Chorus
Constantinople , where did you go ?
Constantinople , where did you go ?

Tales of wonder of the Orient , of the East,
Of mystery and a magic , for my eyes an endless feast.
Beating suns and winter rains , palaces of pleasure and pain
Beyond your walls , I’m still in awe of what remains

And I will keep you there, your beauty in time & place
And I will hold it there , hold that look in your face

Chorus
Constantinople , where did you go ?
Constantinople , where did you go

Empires come and empires go , in time she changed her name
How she once looked , and what she became

She was fine silks and spices, golden riches beyond compare,
You still hold my fascination , and I still stand and stare

And I will keep you there, your beauty in time & place
And I will hold it there , hold that look in your face

Chorus
Constantinople , where do you go ?
Constantinople , where did you go ?
Constantinople , where did you go ?
Constantinople , where did you go ?

Where did you go ?
where did you go ?
where did you go ?
