Jill Sobule Vrbana Bridge Lyrics

Vrbana Bridge Lyrics

They stood by the window
And 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
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 his arms down for her
She would forgive his brother's
crime
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 their arms down for her
They
would forgive his brother's crime
Just for one moment they would 
Let
them pass Vrbana Bridge

Through a crack in the wall
Of a sandbagged
building
The soldier saw them fall
He said "If love was their only
armor
It did no good at all
They lay for six days
In a final
embrace
They had shut the whole war out
The soldier blames the other
side
But even he has his doubts

He would lay down his arms down for
her
He would forgive his brother's crime
He would lay down his arms

To let them pass Vrbana Bridge
