Lyrics
Josephine (Mc Donnell, Molloy)
Don?t read into the silence.
Don?t change the moment.
Don?t use words for what my eyes might say .
Don?t show me the war wounds.
It?s too late or too soon,
When we?ve no need to be saved.
©
Did you know I sing your praises,
When you are not around.
I?m the king of phrases,
Who?s got none to be found.
Don?t you think the words would flow for me now.
My Josephine.
Are you fearful of the quiet.
That I might wander for a while.
Find myself a new love
And conjour our divide.
Put my hand upon the bible.
For confession or control.
I?ve always known the depth,
to the colours of your soul,
Against my soul
