Sarajevo

If you close your eyes You can hear the mortars and the bullets rip the sky From the hillside down Blood and tears of four long years The things it's seen this town One day I will be alone with you A river seat and a sky so blue How could you be so sweet Stumbling to your feet One day I will be alone with you And the world came here TV crews with headline news And then they disappear So, we walk in the dark and we talk in the dark So no one else can see Who we are what we are Tunnelling to get by Roses upon the street Everything we had to do We never will complete When will I just be alone with you A river seat and a sky so blue How can you be so sweet Stumbling to your feet One day I will be alone with you If you close your eyes You can hear the mortars and the bullets fill the sky From the hillside down Blood and tears of four long years The things it's seen this town There was no running water No electricity no heating And very little food The blood on the pavement Had already been washed away Coffins in Sarajevo by the 15th month of the siege Were in short supply When will I just be alone with you A river seat and a sky so blue How can you be so sweet Stumbling to your feet One day I will be alone with you
