Lyrics Jill Sobule

Jill Sobule

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
