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
Josephine, Josephine

Now I take the hand I took for granted and set it free
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 chasin' after 'em
You locked the door and put them old records on
I hear you cryin' along
Oh, what a fool I've been
No more will the final word be the tears in your eyes
Oh how I try, oh how I try
Oh Josephine, you are free
Oh Josephine, Josephine
