Josephine

not tonight josephine

in an army's strength therein
lies the denouement from
here you're haunting me by
the seine so beautiful only
not to be of use impossible

so strange victory 1200 spires
the only sound moscow burning
empty like the tuileries like a dream
vienna seems only not to be of use impossible

in the last extremity to
advance or not to advance i
hear you laughing

even still you're calling me
not tonight not tonight

not tonight josephine
