Josephine Knots

Lyrics

Tie the rope tight boys tie the rope tight Lift up your eyes and draw down the night This chain stretches long in steel and blue In Josephine Knots from me to you There's a harlequin moon the sky's heavy with rain The touch of a hand the sound of a name This thread runs the branches of every oak tree In Josephine Knots from you to me From the firstborn cry to the last whispered breath I was here at the birth I'll be here at the death In the eyes you remembered and the smile you forgot We are bound tightly with Josephine Knots So give me your hand boys at least just for now I will hold you as long as time will allow And when fingers slip and ribbons untie Just look for those Josephine Knots in the sky Just look for those Josephine Knots in the sky
