Musical Notes #3

Based on Leonard Cohen’s, Joan of Arc, sung by Jennifer Warnes
Joan of Arc
Into the opening she rides
Mounted upon her stead
War weary
Dressed in white
Joy in solitude
Beneath the smoke
Fire admires her pride
Mounted upon her stead
He sees the
Glory in her eyes
War weary
Found his way into her heart
Late one night
Into each others’ arms they fell
Dressed in white
Now the flames no longer follow her
But in Her heart they burn
Mounted upon her stead
War weary
Dressed in white

A child (in years)..fighting like a woman..weary and white..seems sadder than weary and grey..somehow..i am glad she has her stead..Jae
Every woman and child-woman carries a warrior within. Interesting you find it more sad, that she is war weary in white. (What is the meaning of that white? Is it the innocence?) And yes, she joins with her stead, in power, pride, and glory. “It ain’t easy to be a woman.” Annell Livingston HC 74 Box 21860 El Prado, NM 87529

That’s the truth..maybe i wish for her white clothes to be covered in jam and afternoon tea..a little fun before taking up arms.. x
