Romeo, has your star set
Where are you Romeo?
Lying with your Juliet
In a field near Sarajevo
The world your love tried to escape
It could not let you go
Conceived and born in blood and hate
Too many wasted lives ago.
Romeo, has your star set
Where are you Romeo?
Lying with your Juliet
In a field near Sarajevo
Young hearts beating, hand in hand
A dream to take or give
Love walks into No Mans Land
Where nothing moves or lives.
Romeo, has your star set
Where are you Romeo?
Lying with your Juliet
In a field near Sarajevo
Did you think that love would be your shield?
Foolish Romeo
Now love lies rotting in a field
Near Sarajevo.
Where are you Romeo?
Lying with your Juliet
In a field near Sarajevo
The world your love tried to escape
It could not let you go
Conceived and born in blood and hate
Too many wasted lives ago.
Romeo, has your star set
Where are you Romeo?
Lying with your Juliet
In a field near Sarajevo
Young hearts beating, hand in hand
A dream to take or give
Love walks into No Mans Land
Where nothing moves or lives.
Romeo, has your star set
Where are you Romeo?
Lying with your Juliet
In a field near Sarajevo
Did you think that love would be your shield?
Foolish Romeo
Now love lies rotting in a field
Near Sarajevo.

Just browsing around and found this, the Eric Bogle song book(ISBN 192 1029 374) has 'rotting' for 'rolling' in the penultimate line
