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 My mornings are all empty now My night times 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 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
