Miss Sarajevo

Is there a time for keeping your distance
A time to turn your eyes away
Is there a time for keeping your head down
For getting on with your day

Is there a time for kohl and lipstick
A time for cutting hair
Is there a time for high street shopping
To find the right dress to wear

Here she comes
Heads turn around
Here she comes
To take her crown

Is there a time to run for cover
A time for kiss and tell
Is there a time for different colours
Different names you find it hard to spell

Is there a time for first communion
A time for East 17
Is there a time to turn to Mecca
Is there time to be a beauty queen

Here she comes
Beauty plays the clown
Here she comes
Surreal in her crown

Dici che il fiume You say that the river
Trova la via al mare Finds the way to the sea
E come il fiume And like the river
Giungerai a me You shall come to me
Oltre i confine Beyond the borders
E le terre assetate And the thirsty lands
Dici che come fiume You say that as a river
Come fiume... Like a river...
L'amore giunger Love shall come
L'amore... Love...
E non so più pregare And I'm not able to pray anymore
E nell'amore non so più sperare And I cannot hope in love anymore
E quell'amore non so più aspettare And I cannot wait for that love anymore

Is there a time for tying ribbons
A time for Christmas trees
Is there a time for laying tables
And the night is set to freeze
