Tragically Hip - Goodnight Josephine lyrics

rate me

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 , isnt 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
