Josephine Lyrics

by Teitur
Album: Poetry & Aeroplanes (2003)



Dreamt I was back with pirates and cats
in my somerville
The girl in the alphabet shirt
covered in dirt
lives on the hill

well my sweet josephine
are you still racing stray dogs
across the old stream
my neighborhood queen
are you still kissing cowboys
that cry josephine

she stole my grandmother's watch
a treasure to touch
to keep time to herself
and her mind was a very big house
we got lost there for hours
until august fell

repeat chorus

you say you're alright
but josie it's time
you've gotta get your feet on the ground
but she says no
don't you see we have wings
it's the funniest thing
it's just that no one knows
no one knows

sweet josephine

well my sweet josephine
are you still racing stray dogs across
the old stream
my neighborhood queen
are you still kissing cowboys
that cry josephine

my neighborhood queen
are you still kissing cowboys that cry josephine
