Josephine

I loved a woman named Josephine
But that was just her middle name
I loved her in the middle country
But now she’s living by the sea
She took me in her arms and saved
My heart though ties she would not make
But knots and promises did I dream
And all of them she soon did break
The silence of the blue night stings
The bell within my cell can’t ring
For the rust around it tightening
It only sounds for Josephine
Like the fountain where I tossed my dime
The mountain I was too weak to climb
The room in which I lost my mind
All is owned by Josephine
