Vrbana Bridge

Lyrics

Stood by the window
 Watched the old church
 Burn for the second time
 The light from the fire
 Made her glow like an angel
 As she pulled him down and smiled
 And they lay on the bed
 There were shouts all around
 They could shut the whole war out
 With the squeak of the springs
 And tomorrows dreams
 And the beating of their hearts
 He would lay down his arms for her
 She would forgive his brother's crimes
 They would do anything
 To make it past Vrbana Bridge
 Well he looked up to Jesus
 And she looked to the east
 Where the sun was soon to rise
 She asked for Allah's blessings
 To keep them both alive
 They had friends in high places
 Who could do them a favor
 Turn a blind eye
 They'd seen so much hate
 And death every day
 Let's just let those two walk by
 They would lay down their arms for her
 They would forgive his brother's crime
 If for one moment they would
 Let them pass Vrbana Bridge
 Through a crack in the wall
 Of a sandbagged building
 Soldier saw them fall
 He said If love was their only armor
 Well It did no good at all
 They lay for six days
 In a final embrace
 Shut the whole war out
 And soldier blames the other side
 But even he has his doubts
 He would lay down his arms for her
 He would forgive his brother's crimes
 He would lay down his arms
 To let them pass Vrbana
 He would lay down his arms for her
 She would forgive his brother's crime
 Only one moment they would
 Let them pass Vrbana Bridge
