Vrbana Bridge - Jill Sobule

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
