LYRICS:
"Land of Turkestan
Where Ottoman makes love in Caravans.
There in romance land, by desert sands,
I have left my heart and hand.

Turkestan, my Oriental land,
Your temple bells are calling me.
Mystic nights, revealing wondrous sights,
Disclose a wealth of mystery.

What love tales concealed 'neath orient veils
Where magic eyes shine out when love-light gleams,
Land so fair, I'm longing to be there,
My Turkestan, you're always in my dreams."
