The Freeing of Baghdad Lyrics

I was looking for escape when I met you
And of all the things bigger than us
You would think that the death of thousands
Would at least distract me.

I didn t find my happy ending
In your country where
I could drive for 10 hours and
Never reach the sea.

While Bagdad burned, I cried.
In a café in Europe
Over the touch of your hand.
