D Am C G D G dadada well , im glad to hear you talk this way , you know ive 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 , im fire , he replied , and i love your solitude , i love your pride . dadada . . . then fire , make your body cold , im 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 . dadada . . . 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? dadada . . .
