Josephine

(앨범: Medicine Man - 2019)

Her veins, they run like tracks all across her skin
She used to be an angel, but she traded that for sin
And when she fell from grace she fell far, she fell hard
The holes in her soul match the holes in her arms
She tells me she loves me, but only when she's high
I'd hate to see her go, but couldn't leave her if I tried
So I'll just stay here by her side
And I'll hold you in my arms so damn tight
Wondering to myself, will we make it another night?
As you look up at the ceiling with a cold stare in your eyes
I can see your fate, and I can see you're losing the fight

And oh, my sweet Josephine
Oh, how I wish that you could see
How you were killing yourself
And how your habits were hurting me
Oh, my sweet, sweet Josephine

We had our whole lives to look forward to
But you threw it all away for a needle and a spoon
And I know your stone will read "A girl gone too soon"
We laid you in the ground today with a calm upon your face
I kissed you one last time before he laid you in your grave
You were my girl, my girl that slipped away

And oh, my sweet Josephine
Oh, how I wish that you could see
How you were killing yourself
And how your habits were hurting me
Oh, my sweet, sweet Josephine

Oh, Josephine
Come back to me, Josephine
I'm begging you please
And oh, my sweet, sweet Josephine
Oh, how I wish you would have seen
That you were killing yourself
Now your habits have killed me
Oh, my sweet, sweet Josephine

Oh, Josephine
Sweet Josephine
