Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Josephine, where can you be now?
Again the sun is risin' on my troubled heart
Don't deny you know you and I
Are the making of what fate just can't pull apart
[Verse 2]
My sweet Josephine
Won't you come and marry me?
I got every kind of love that you would ever need
Dying here on bended knees
[Verse 3]
Sheets of rain, cold and gray
Run down the page as I write your name
With just the weight of your silence now
Crashing all around me while I screamed it out loud
[Verse 4]
My sweet Josephine
Won't you come and marry me?
I got every kind of love that you would ever need
Dying here on bended knees
[Verse 5]
Like a raven in a cage
The blood of my birth
Just won't wash away
Like a stitched together doll
My feet to the flame
As I fall on the blame
For someone else's pain
For someone else's pain
[Verse 6]
Rivers of black ink flood
A tapestry of flesh and blood around my frame
A living shrine just for you if you'll be mine
A golden band upon your hand
Leave this endless winter behind
[Verse 7]
My sweet Josephine
Won't you come and marry me?
I got every single kind of love that you will ever need
Dying here on bended knees
Dying here on bended knees
Dying here on bended knees
My Josephine
