This is a song of longing for the woman he loves. He’s calling for her to come to him to they can marry, while he feels his love for her withering away on the vine. He’d give up everything if she’d be with him, but she’s no where to be found.
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 that you will ever need
Dying here on bended 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 screamed it out loud
My sweet Josephine
Won’t you come and marry me?
I got every kind of love that you will ever need
Dying here on bended knees
Like a raven in a cage
Blood of my birth just won’t wash away
Like a stitched-together doll
My feet to the flame as I follow the blame
For someone else’s pain
For someone else’s pain
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
Golden band upon 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 will ever need
Dying here on bended knees
Dying here on bended knees
Dying here on bended knees
My Josephine
