Istanbul

I came here to press pause on my day
Well, actually if I go home
I'd find myself just sitting there any way
Staring at a disconnected screen.
So I'll sit here in the sun,
Catch a few rays and listen to the sound of the waves
And forget the troubles
That are accompanied by it when it's done.

I've found a spot between lovers and some young boys
Who've cashed into their prize of alcohol
They hid between the rocks and some stories.
So many stories these rocks must know,
The storms, warm days and cold days of winter,
All piled up on top of each other
So many we could never know.
Out there on the water the islands are moving,
Leaving scars on the surface,
And us wondering what they're doing.
In the distance the city is hidden by its own haze,
To discover it I'll have to move through it,
But that I'll save for another day.
