Josephine Lyrics

Her name is Josephine

And her man ran away pretty recently

Now she picks up orange leaves from under the tree

And says they know just when to die

Do you know I've heard her sing

I was walking by one evening

Her window was open

No, we've never spoken

Fervid dreams can wake the dead

I hear a voice inside my head

There's a breeze in my awning

But what name should I be calling?

Her name is Josephine

And her man ran away pretty recently

Now she picks up orange leaves from under the tree

And says they know just when to die

Her name is Josephine

And she's my fleeting new reality

And she lives with her parents but she comes to me

When all the world is quiet

What kind of man would run from her?

A real dolt I'm sure

She must have fallen for a clown

But someday soon, she'll come around

I'm not very poetic

My words sound like cheap confetti

Would she cast her net in my sea?

Would she want to catch me?

Her name is Josephine

And her man ran away pretty recently

Now she picks up orange leaves from under the tree

And says they know just when to die

Her name is Josephine a

And she's my fleeting new reality

And she lives with her parents but she comes to me

When all the world is quiet
