For Josephine
David McWilliams
[Verse 1]
The light is waxing dim my love
By the window here I dream
I see you standing in the rain
In the places where we've been
And the highway is painted blue, my love
For those that haven't seen
That I would give my heart and soul
For you my Josephine
[Verse 2]
My mornings are all empty now
My nighttimes just the same
No breath upon my waking eyes
No one to call my name
Forget the lips that twist and smile
Speaking words they do not mean
They cannot be a substitute
For you my Josephine
[Verse 3]
I'm bidding you a long farewell
My darling fair and true
For in my waking sleeplessness
My thoughts cannot get through
These thoughts like me are changing
For love of what has been
I leave a lantern at my gate
For you my Josephine
