Joan Of Arc
La la la
La la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
Now the flames they followed Joan of Arc
As she came riding through the dark
No moon to keep her armour bright
And no man to get her through this dark
This very smoky night
She said "I'm tired of the war
I want the kind of work I had before
With a wedding dress or something white
To wear upon my swollen appetite"
La la la
La la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
Well I'm glad to hear you talk this way
You see, I watched you ridin' almost every single day
And there's something in me that just yearns to win
Such a cold
Such a very lonesome heroine
"Oh then who are you"
She sternly spoke
To the one beneath the smoke
"Why? I'm fire" he replied
And I love your solitude
Oh I love your sense of pride
La la la
La la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
"Well then fire
Make your body cold
I'm gonna give you mine to hold"
And saying this
She climbed inside
To be his one
To be his only bride
It was deep into his fiery heart
He took the dust of our Joan of Arc
And high above all of these wedding guests
He hung the ashes of her lovely wedding dress
La la la
La la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
It was deep into his fiery heart
He took the dust of our Joan of Arc
Then she clearly understood
If he was fire
Oh, she must be wood
I saw her wince
I saw her cry
Saw the glory in her eye
Myself, I long for love and light
But must it come so cruel
And must it be so bright
La la la
La la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
