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)
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 (I'll steal you, Johanna)
Goodbye Johanna
You're gone and yet you're mine
I'm fine Johanna
I'm fine (Johanna!)
City on fire
City on fire
And if I never hear your voice
My turtledove
My dear
I still have reason to rejoice
The way ahead is clear
Johanna (I'll marry Anthony Sunday)
Anthony Sunday
And in the darkness when I'm blind (I feel you, Johanna)
With what I can't forget
It's always morning in my mind
My little lamb
My pet
Johanna (I know you'll come for me one day)
Come for me one day
You stay Johanna (Johanna)
The way I've dreamed you are
Oh, look, Johanna
A star, a shooting star (buried sweetly in your yellow hair)
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 (with you beside me on Sunday)
Married on Sunday
And you'd be beautiful and pale (city on fire)
And look too much like her
If only angels could prevail
We'd be the way we were
Johanna (married on Sunday, married on Sunday)
Wake up, Johanna
Another bright red day
We learn, Johanna
To say
Goodbye (I'll steal you)
Goodbye
Goodbye (alms, alms)
For a miserable woman
