A patchwork city
Where danger sleeps
On rose beds in the concrete.
And the city’s eternal flame
Eternally warms
The hands of young boys
With the faces of old men.
We spoke in images
Our hands our mouth pieces
Oiled by plum brandy
And the certainty
That what I said
You understood,
Or wanted to
Which is all that you have to do
To make an outsider feel welcome.
BIRDS OF SARAJEVO
It seems the birds of Sarajevo
are gone--where did they go?
Some only say they've flown away
or scratch their heads, and just cant say.
It seems the songs of Sarajevo
are stilled--where did they go?
Some only sigh, while others cry
that all the songs were just a lie.
It seems the youth of Sarajevo
has died--where did it go?
Some only say it's hides away
from all the pain of yesterday.
THE BIRDS OF SARAJEVO
It seems the birds of Sarajevo
are gone--where did they go?
Some only say they've flown away
or scratch their heads, and just cant say.
It seems the songs of Sarajevo
are stilled--where did they go?
Some only sigh, while others cry
that all the songs were just a lie.
It seems the youth of Sarajevo
has died--where did it go?
Some only say it's hides away
from all the pain of yesterday.
