On the day you passed I was in Istanbul And the ATM outside The Radisson Blue Hotel lobby Swallowed my card And I couldn't work out Who to contact for help
On the day you passed I drank coffee in a bakery On the street Where the gypsy woman Selling flowers On the corner Gave one to a stranger Asking nothing in return
On the day you passed The people in the hotel Looked worried, Said it was strange But I knew why The sun went in And it rained and rained And the man on the corner Yesterday selling sunhats Started selling umbrellas instead And I got drenched to the bone And never wanted to see the sun again Because I felt so sad and alone
