Lyrics Jennifer Warnes – Joan Of Arc

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.

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.»

«Well then fire, make your body cold,
I’m gonna 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 all these wedding guests
He hung the ashes of her lovely wedding dress.
La…

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,
