Chris Cornell - Josephine 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 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
