In the garden light I saw it in your smile
You threw that dream out there
You’re never gonna see that dream again
In the station light I saw it in your eyes
It rose from deep within, a vision of your trials yet to come
That’s just a reason, but that ain’t no reason
Just a Turkish interlude, not life
In your youthful eyes of passion fresh like snow
I can see no lies, a place where no deception has been known
And in my modest book of ageing tragedy
A hidden page remains, never touched by blood, nor ink nor rain
That’s just a reason, but that ain’t no reason
Just a Turkish interlude, not life
In the garden light I saw it in your smile
You threw that dream out there
You’re never gonna see that dream again
