Joan Baez - For Sasha Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Here by my window in Germany
  • A morning bird flies close to me
  • On his wing I see a yellow star
  • The lights are on in the factory
  • The frost is hung on the linden tree
  • And I remember where we are
  • And I remember the holocaust
  • I remember all we lost
  • The families torn and the borders crossed
  • And I sing of it now for Sasha
  • A young German officer lies in his bed
  • Bandages from toe to head
  • A prisoner of the camps draws nigh
  • If you are Abel and I am Cain
  • Forgive me from my bed of pain
  • I know not why we die
  • It was I who ordered the building burned
  • The job was over and as I turned
  • A father and his son
  • Caught in the flames high above the ground
  • From cradled arms the boy looked down
  • One leap and their lives were done
  • And I remember the holocaust
  • I remember all we lost
  • The children gone and the borders crossed
  • And I sing of it now for Sasha
  • You in frozen streets of Heidelberg
  • Your youth unbearded takes form in words
  • And the ghosts of the past are kind
  • For this was your university
  • The years were long but the spirits free
  • And your river runs to the Rhine
  • The smoke filled taverns that you once roamed
  • With the discontented who'd stayed at home
  • You must have whiskey or you'll die
  • The beer garden under the old chateau
  • Our faces now in the candle glow
  • See the memories how they shine
  • But you remember the holocaust
  • You remember all we lost
  • The families torn and the borders crossed
  • And we'll sing of it now for Sasha
