Lyrics

josephine where can you be now
again the sun is rising on my troubled heart
don't deny you know you and i
are the makings of what fate
just can't pull apart

my sweet josephine
won't you come and marry me
and i got every kind of love that you could ever need
dying here on bended knees

sheets of rain
cold and gray
run down the page
as i write your name
just the weight of your silent style
comes crashing all around me as i scream it out loud

my sweet josephine
won't you come and marry me
i've got every single kind of love that you could ever need
dying here on bended knees

like a raven in a cage
the blood of my birth
won't wash away
like a stitched together doll
my feet to the flame
as I fall on the blade
for someone else's pain
for someone else's pain

rivers of black ink flood
the tapestry of flesh and blood around my frame
a living shrine just for you if you'll be mine
a golden band for your hand
leave this endless winter behind

my sweet josephine
won't you come and marry me
i got every single kind of love that you could ever need
dying here on bended knees
dying here on bended knees
dying here on bended knees
my josephine
