Karaoké 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 armor bright

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

Lah lah lah lah lah lah lah lah lah

Lah lah lah lah lah lah lah lah lah lah lah lah

Lah lah lah lah lah lah

Well I'm glad to to hear you talk this way

You see I've watched you riding almost every single day

And there's something in me that just yearns to win

Such a very cold and such a very lonesome heroine

Well then who are you she sternly spoke

To the one beneath the smoke

Why I'm I'm fire he replied

And I love your solitude and

Oh how I love your sense of pride

Lah lah lah lah lah lah lah lah lah

Lah lah lah lah lah lah lah lah lah lah lah lah

Lah lah lah lah lah lah

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 the assembled wedding guests

He hung the ashes of her very lovely wedding dress

Lah lah lah lah lah lah lah lah lah

Lah lah lah lah lah lah lah lah lah lah lah lah

Lah lah lah lah lah lah

It was deep deep into his fiery heart

That he took the dust of our precious Joan of Arc

And then she clearly she clearly understood

If 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

I long for love and light

But must it come so cruel and must it

Must it be so very bright

Lah lah lah lah lah lah lah lah lah

Lah lah lah lah lah lah lah lah lah lah lah lah

Lah lah lah lah lah lah
