The Queen Of Sarajevo Lyrics - North Hollywood Shootout - Blues Traveler

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, 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 clever kind of 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
