Pavanne Written by richard and linda thompson Pub. by beeswing music, inc. (bmi) From the album songs for survivors © 2002
Pavanne, cold steel woman, pavanne How do you love a woman? With eyes as cold as the barrel of her gun Who's never missed her mark on anyone Pavanne, pavanne, pavanne
Casino doors swing open, rich men raise their eyes they say "who is this beauty" As elegant as ice, and later there's an accident, another charges d'affaires Is lying in a pool of blood no witness anywhere
And they say she was a hundred miles away The hotel porter saw her climb the stairs And the maid with trembling hands knows what to say When the judge says, "are you sure?" "i'm sure," she swears
Pavanne, cold steel woman, pavanne How do you love a woman? With eyes as cold as the barrel of her gun Who's never missed her mark on anyone Pavanne, pavanne, pavanne
At the presidential palace a thousand people saw His excellency leave his car and never make the door The blood flow through his fingers as he clutches at the stain And staggers like a drunken man lies twisted in the rain
And they say she grew up well provided for Her mother used to keep her boys for sure And her father's close attentions led to talk She learned to stab her food with a silver fork
Pavanne, cold steel woman, pavanne
And they say she didn't do it for the money And they say she didn't do it for a man They say she did it for the pleasure The pleasure of the moment
Pavanne, cold steel woman, pavanne How do you stop this woman? When everyone is moving through a trance Like prisoners of some slow courtly dance Pavanne, pavanne, pavanne, pavanne
