The Queen Of Sarajevo Songtext / Lyric

In the international rumble

She takes a chance and comes to me

And falling through the cracks we tumble

Not far at all but enough to see

We've come to rest our backs against the rubble

Of a future in uncertainty



"And I'm so glad you're here" she said

"And I hate that you're here" she said

"I wish I didn't need you so much

To be here"



It's funny meeting anyone this way

But there she goes

Walking her last runway

The queen of Sarajevo






We communicate in broken English

And nervous sighs and apprehension

As fascinated we are standing witness

No alcohol could quell the tension

No kind of clever joke or small talk in this

No fate denies our soul connection



"And I'm so glad you're here" she said

"And I hate that you're here" she said

"I wish I didn't need you so much

To be here"



It's funny meeting anyone this way

But there she goes

Walking her last runway

The queen of Sarajevo



They say that in the west the blues comes easy

And the night belongs to the one who plays

But it's the ancient souls that breathe them deeply

For the bluest heart is the one who stays



It's funny meeting anyone this way

But there she goes

Watch her walk her last runway

The queen of Sarajevo



And it's so funny to be living this way

But it's time to go

Leave you standing on the runway

The queen of Sarajevo

The queen of Sarajevo
