Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Romeo and Juliet in Sarajevo-Eric Bogle
From memory - these are the words I sing:-

Chorus:-
Romeo, has your star set
Where are you Romeo?
Lying with your Juliet
in a field near Sarajevo

The world your love tried to escape
It could not let you go
Conceived and born in blood and hate
Too many wasted lives ago

Chorus:-

Young hearts beating, hand in hand
A dream to take or give
Love walks into no-mans-land
Where nothing moves or lives

Chorus:-

Did you think that love would be your shield?
Foolish Romeo
Now love lies rotting in a field
Near Sarajrvo

Chorus:-

This is on one of Eric's CDs, I'm sure. A great song and such a pity the essence is still relevant in this cruel world after all this time.
