Sheltered In Alone - Sarajevo 41

Sarajevo - SHELTERED IN ALONE
Between the silence whispered in your head
and what you cannot see in front of you;
each morning of each day you know, but dread,
as if a curse is all this life will do.

You'd love to love, but hide away from it,
and sheltered in alone, you wonder why
somebody might see you, and stay a bit,
but all they do is look and pass you by.

Deep in your heart is love that's seldom known,
it cries out for someone to make it shine,
but no one ever sees what you've not shown
you've sealed love tighter than a cask of wine.

Down by the River, Sarajevo's charm
Calls not for love, but calls for you to arm.
