Goodnight Josephine

I remember a girl on her cellphone
Surrounded by her friends
Eyes flickering, she's trying
To smother a smile in her hands

Is it someone for us
Someone more worry-free
Someone who can say'
"Leave the worrying about him to me Josephine?"

I remember you there in the last rays
Of light at diplomacy's end
Eyes flickering you're crying
But, isn't this when the crimes begin?

When the people you want to don't
The people who do you
Don't believe you Josephine?

I remember you there at the table
Surrounded by all the days plans
Eyes flickering you're trying
To let a coffee cup warm your hands

Maybe we're born lost
Born to persevere
Honey I'd walk into your painting
Until I'd reappeared

A speck of comet-tail dust
A blue-green northern light
Flickering just in your eyes' deepest ravines
Goodnight goodnight Josephine

Goodnight, goodnight Josephine
Goodnight, goodnight Josephine
Goodnight, goodnight

Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight

Josephine, Josephine, Josephine, Josephine
