Josephine Songtext

von Chris Cornell

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 making of what fate
Just can't pull apart
My sweet Josephine
Won't you come and marry me
I got every kind of love
You will ever need
Dying here on bended knees
Sheets of rain
Cold and grey
Run down the page
As I write your name
With just the weight
Of your silence now
Crashing all around me
While I scream it out loud
My sweet Josephine
Won't you come and marry me
I got every kind of love
You will ever need
Dying here on bended knees
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 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
Upon your hand
And leave this endless winter behind
My sweet Josephine
Won't you come and marry me
I got every single kind of love
You will ever need
Dying here on bended knees
Dying here on bended knees
Dying here on bended knees
My Josephine
