Josephine Songtext
von Jon Auer

I got your message, Josephine
You weren′t around for my reply
I saw the hall where the footprints are
And the train rolls by
Never knowing where it's going
You were a modern woman, Josephine
Who never had the time to waste
For a game where they pull your chain
And the train rolls by
Never knowing where it′s going
Still I wonder would you be that close to me?
Could you love a life that you will never see?
I guess I'll never know why
I guess I'll never know why
I guess I′ll never know why
It wasn′t meant to be
They say that you went away
'Cause you never had a soul to keep
It′s a fact and I can trace the tracks
And when they laid you down to sleep I saved your chromosomes unknowingly
You weren't around for my surprise
Familiar sight on a restless night
And the train rolls by
But I finally got the message, Josephine
I′ll never get to know you well
I invite you at the holy site
And the train rolls by
Never knowing where it's going
Still I wonder would you be that close to me?
Could you love a life that you will never see?
I guess I′ll never know why
I guess I'll never know why
I guess I'll never know why
I guess I′ll never know why
I guess I′ll never know why
I guess I'll never know why
I guess I′ll never know why
It wasn't meant to be
