This song made me cry "Vrbana Bridge". Remember that story? |
|
It's by Jill Sobule of "I Kissed A Girl" fame.
Here are the lyrics, but hearing the song is much better:
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 war out With the squeak of the springs And tomorrow's dreams And the beating of their hearts
He would lay down his arms 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 down their arms 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 doubts
He would lay down his arms for her He would forgive his brother's crime He would lay down his arms To let them pass Vrbana Bridge
:cry:
I remember seeing photos of their bodies laying together on the bridge.
