Josephine - 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 banded knees

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 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 banded 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 is pain

For someone else is 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 banded knees

Dying here on banded knees

Dying here on banded knees

My Josephine
