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 dark and 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, | |
I've watched you riding every day | |
And there is something in me that yearns to win | |
Such a cold, such a 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." | |
"Well, then, fire make your body cold, | |
I'm going to give you mine to hold." | |
And saying this she climbed inside | |
To be his one, to be his only bride. | |
Then deep into his fiery heart | |
He took the dust of Joan of Arc, | |
And high above all these wedding guests | |
He hung the ashes of her lovely 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, 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, | |
Must it be so bright? |
