lyrics

Touch down in the city
The autumn sun did seem to bathe the street scene
The gilded dream
I’d gone behind the curtain

I never saw such sights
I saw them through your eyes
I didn’t know you then

It was only an hour
It was only a glance
Fortune favours the bold
And those who take their chance
But do I dare to step right off the path?
It might not be a laugh
The winter’s cold in Warsaw

Not tonight Josephine
Said a bad word, did the wrong thing
In the darkness that encloses you
Never been so alone
Not tonight Josephine
Such a bad thing, what a bad thing
In the winter of our discontent
Cold as a precious stone

A foreign architecture
Such elegant design
If I could be so fine
I might explore your world
I go there in my mind
My vain dream
My amber queen
Glowing gold and warm
I fear the coming storm
Take me away

Not tonight Josephine
Said a bad word, did the wrong thing
In the darkness that encloses you
Never been so alone
Not tonight Josephine
Such a bad thing, what a bad thing
In the winter of our discontent
Cold as a precious stone

White skies above
My failed love
All the people, people say hi
All the people swarm around like flies
But I know that you’re there
In radiance somewhere
Like a jewel in a case
Like a velvet embrace
Like falling through space

Not tonight Josephine
Said a bad word, did the wrong thing
In the darkness that encloses you
Never been so alone
Not tonight Josephine
Such a bad thing, what a bad thing
In the winter of our discontent
Cold as a precious stone

Not tonight, not tonight…
Not tonight Josephine
