Vrbana Bridge

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
