I was married to the Bosphorus..

Brazzaville

I was married to the Bosphorus
I threw my ring in then i blew a kiss
To the Ottomans and Byzantines
Lying beneath the sea

I wore a pink and yellow summer dress
I kept MY hair just like a poetess
I traveled all the way to Canada
The trains and the cold, dark sea

The amber glow of a morning cigarette
On the Istiklal Cadessi
The vapor trails and the tiny minerettes
All the domes in silhouette

Ahhhhh Ahhhh Ahhhh…
