Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I feel you Johanna
I feel you
Do they think that walls could hide you?
Even now, I'm at your window
I am in the dark beside you
Buried sweetly in your yellow hair
Johanna
[Verse 2]
And are you beautiful and pale with yellow hair
Like her?
I'd want you beautiful and pale the way I've dreamed you were
Johanna, (Johanna)
[Verse 3]
And if you're beautiful what then with yellow hair
Like wheat?
I think we shall not meet again my little dove, my sweet, Johanna
[Verse 4]
I'll steal you Johanna
Good bye Johanna
You're gone and yet you're mine
I'm fine Johanna
I'm fine, (Johanna)
[Verse 5]
Smoke, smoke, sign of the devil, sign of the devil
City on fire
Witch, a witch, smell that sir an evil smell
Every night at the Vesper's Bell
Smoke that comes from the mouth of hell, city on fire
City on fire
Mischief, mischief, mischief
[Verse 6]
And if I never hear your voice, my turtledove, my dear
I still have reason to rejoice the way ahead, is clear, Johanna
[Verse 7]
(I feel you)
And in the darkness when I'm blind with what I can't forget
(Johanna)
It's always morning in my mind, my little lamb my pet
Johanna
[Verse 8]
You stay Johanna, (Johanna), the way of dreamed you are
Oh look Johanna, a star, (Buried sweetly in your yellow hair)
A shooting star
[Verse 9]
There, there, somebody, somebody, look up there
Didn't I tell you smell that air, city on fire
Quick sir run and tell, more and more like a witch's spell
There it is, there it is the unholy smell
Tell it to the Beadle and the police as well
Tell 'em, tell 'em, help, please, city on fire
City on fire
Mischief, mischief
[Verse 10]
And though I'll think of you I guess
Until the day I die
I think I miss you less and less as everyday goes by
Johanna, (Johanna)
[Verse 11]
And you'd be beautiful and pale and look too much like her
If only angels could prevail we'd be the way we were
Johanna, (I feel you, Johanna)
Wake up Johanna
Another bright red day
We learn Johanna, to say
Good bye
I'll steal you
