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.
