The Wallflowers - Josephine lyrics

I feel all right

And I've been thinkin' maybe

I could spend the night

I know you've been sad

I know I've been bad

But if you'd let me

Make you ribbons from a paper bag

Chorus:

Josephine

You're so good to me

And I know

It ain't easy

Josephine

You're so sweet

You must taste just like sugar & tangerines

I won't make a sound

Sleep on the ground

When you wake I will

Drive you into town

I missed your smile

Your schoolgirl style

But I never had much fun

Maybe the very first mile

(chorus)

Don't you know

I watched you walkin' home from school

Your friends on the old playgrounds

You never looked so down

Won't you come and help me with these cuts of mine?

I've disconnected my heart

And cut myself on the wires

Josephine

I know I was wrong

I knew all along

But I got so far from my home

I never thought I'd be so lonesome

(chorus
