| I turned your life so upside down. |
| I don’t know how you stayed or why
|
| Looking always over my shoulder; |
| exactly what I wanted to find was already mine
|
| Josephine, Josephine
|
| But I saw the horizon and I had to know where it all ends
|
| I lived so long with the shadows, Lord, I became one of them
|
| Oh what a fool I’ve been
|
| Oh what a fool I’ve been. |
| Josephine, Josephine
|
| Now I take the hand I took for granted and I set it free
|
| Oh what a fool I’ve been
|
| Oh what a fool I’ve been. |
| Josephine, Josephine
|
| Some folks see the horizon and never need to know how it all ends
|
| Leave the shadows behind; |
| don’t go chasing after 'em
|
| You lock the door and put them old records on. |
| I hear you crying along
|
| Oh what a fool I’ve been
|
| Oh what a fool I’ve been
|
| No more will the final words be the tears in your eyes
|
| Oh how I tried
|
| Oh how I tried
|
| Oh Josephine, you are free
|
| Oh Josephine, Josephine |
