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. |
