Donovan - Josie Lyrics
Josie,I wont fail ya,I wont fail you have no fear,Josie,I wont fail ya,Give me one more chance to be as near.The meadows they are burstingthe yellow corn is in your hands,and with the night comes sorrowas the tide of dawn slips on the land.The long breezes are blowingall down the sky into my face,Ive a worried kind of feelinthat my time has come and gone to waste.I love you darling Josie,the trees of pine they grow so tall,how can you come to love mewhen you didnt love me at all.Josie,I wont fail ya,I wont fail you have no fear,Josie I wont fail yaGive me one more chance to be as near.My Josie looks a child nowas she lies beyond my breast,in the night I think about herin the day I get no rest.I cut me a young pine coneAnd gave it to the river deep,It sailed way by your windowwhere you lay so long in sleep.God bless you darling Josiewith your sparkling eyes so bright and clear,Josie,I wont fail you have no fear,Josie,I wont fail yaGive me one more chance to be as near
