Joan Of Arc - Leonard Cohen
Now the flames
they followed Joan of Arc
as she came riding
through the dark
no moon to keep her
armour bright
no man to get her
through this very smoky night
She said I'm tired of the war
I want the kind of work
I had before
a wedding dress
or something white
to wear upon my swollen
appetite
Well I'm glad to hear
you talk this way
you know I've watched
you riding every day
and something
in me yearns to win
such a cold and
lonesome heroine
And who are you
she sternly spoke
to the one beneath the smoke
Why I'm fire he replied
And I love your solitude
I love your pride
Then fire make your body cold
I'm going to give you
mine to hold
saying this she climbed inside
to be his one
to be his only bride
And deep into his fiery heart
he took the dust of Joan of Arc
and high above
the wedding guests
he hung the ashes of
her wedding dress
It was deep into his fiery heart
he took the dust of Joan of Arc
and then she clearly
understood
if he was fire
oh then she must be wood
I saw her wince I saw her cry
I saw the glory in her eye
Myself I long for love and light
but must it come so cruel
and oh so bright
