Josie walked down to the Holy Land

With a dream of life and not one shekel in her hand

Walking from a history none of us knew

To lay the road for others to struggle through

She saw him walking slowly across the desert land

Coming back from 40 days in a strange land

She held him, putting water on his burning lips

Caressed his broken body with her fingertips

He woke in the dawn to see her kneeling there

Felt her hand caressing his matted hair

Saw beyond her heart into her sacred eyes

And knew this one would lead him to paradise to

paradise

When he became the chosen one the devil did deceive

White magic that lies within the devil don't believe

The tenderness of a woman's touch, the healing in her kiss

Was lost by men too dead to know the holiness of this

She walked into tell him he was the only man

The one that held her sacred heart in his hand

Please don't break it, love me tender, love me sweet

I'll be your incarnation and your ecstasy your

ecstasy

Josie walked the street with the holy man

Where she laid her softened cheek upon the leper's hand

She gave her love to beggars, whores and thieves

Tried to help him paint his masterpiece

He woke in the dawn to see her kneeling there

Felt her hand caressing his matted hair

Saw beyond her heart into her sacred eyes

And knew this one would lead him to paradise to

paradise

Josie 's been forgotten to all of us now

The book that wrote about her was lost somehow

She lost her name, her voice, her sacred heart

She lost her man when his sweet heart was torn apart

She walked in to tell him he was the only man

The one that held her sacred heart in his hand

Please don't break it, love me tender, love me sweet

I'll be your incarnation and your ecstasy your

ecstasy
