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
