Grace Jones - Let Joy And Innocence Prevail Lyrics
I tell you of a girl her husband was a soldiergone to war in some strange country far awayno word had come to herbut the rumour of great battles foughtand dying in their thousands and the world full of fearas the day would turn to evening she would a pure white candleand place it in a window bright from where it could be seenas she placed it in the window softly ? and ?she said let this burning candle be a beaconlet joy and innocence prevaillet joy and innocence prevailbelieve that luck will never faillet joy and innocence prevailand one night, asleep, she dreamed she saw her husbandfall in a great white cavilry chargeand waking in tears she saw the candle burning in the windowshe still had hopeand through the window a man in the distancebut has he came closer, she saw he was a strangerthe stranger said I bring a message from a generalyour captain has been wounded, his life hangs by a threadhe calls out your name and he wishes you to come to himbut the journey is a hard road and you may be afraidand she laughed and said no road could be too hard for I am fearlessa captain and a husband I have gained this bright new dayand she said with all her heart she would fly to be beside hikand her love would heal his wounds restore him to herlet joy and innocence prevaillet joy and innocence prevailbelieve that luck will never faillet joy and innocence prevaillet joy and innocence prevaillet joy and innocence prevailbelieve that luck will never faillet joy and innocence prevaillet joy and innocence prevail
