Josephine

(álbum: For The Birds - 2021)

I never knew I could trust you. I damn sure wanted to
Paralyzed by your pale green eyes, hanging on your words, like most men do
Water under the bridge, why can't we fix this. At this point, what's the use?
Josephine my dream why can't you just be true?

Tell me Josephine

Downtown across the railroad tracks where the sun don't dare shine
Same place you spun up all your money, now you're back there spending mine
I can't make sense of this, what brought us back to it? Is the stealing really worth that high?
Josephine my dream was the grass really green this time?

Tell me Josephine
Josephine

I bet you're thinking that your back door man is running awfully late by now
Turns out you showed him just where to dig, his own grave outside this house
Ten years worth of work buried in that dirt. Think I'd let it just walk on out?
Josephine my dream what have you done, now

Tell me Josephine
Josephine

Tell me Josephine
Tell me Josephine
