Pavanne Graham Nash

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
