Joan Baez

Joan Baez - For Sasha songtekst

Je score:

A morning bird flies close to me
 On his wing I see a yellow star
 The lights are on in the factory
 The frost is hung on the linden tree
 And I remember where we are

 And I remember the holocaust
 I remember all we lost
 The families torn and the borders crossed
 And I sing of it now for Sasha

 A young German officer lies in his bed
 Bandages from toe to head
 A prisoner of the camps draws nigh
 If you are Abel and I am Cain
 Forgive me from my bed of pain
 I know not why we die

 It was I who ordered the building burned
 The job was over and as I turned
 A father and his son
 Caught in the flames high above the ground
 From cradled arms the boy looked down
 One leap and their lives were done

 And I remember the holocaust
 I remember all we lost
 The children gone and the borders crossed
 And I sing of it now for Sasha

 You in frozen streets of Heidelberg
 Your youth unbearded takes form in words
 And the ghosts of the past are kind
 For this was your university
 The years were long but the spirits free
 And your river runs to the Rhine

 The smoke filled taverns that you once roamed
 With the discontented who'd stayed at home
 You must have whiskey or you'll die
 The beer garden under the old chateau
 Our faces now in the candle glow
 See the memories how they shine

 But you remember the holocaust
 You remember all we lost
 The families torn and the borders crossed
 And we'll sing of it now for Sasha
