Josephine

Dreamt I was back with the pirates and cats of my sommerville

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 neighbourhood queen

Are you still kissing cowboys that cry

Josephine

She stole my grandmother's watch a treasure to touch to keep time to herself

Her mind was a very big house we got lost there for hours until August fell

Well my sweet Josephine

Are you still racing stray dogs

Across the old stream

My neighbourhood queen

Are you still kissing cowboys that cry

Josephine

You say you're allright but Josie it's time

You gotta get your feet on the ground

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 neighbourhood queen

Are you still kissing cowboys that cry

Josephine
