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
