Van Halen - Josephina lyrics

rate me

Josephinathere's so much I want to know

I've known you for all of mine

But not all of yours

You're not a stranger

Nonothing could be further

I look back and I wonder

What you were likelong before

Josephinaif I asked youwould you tell me?

The fact from the fancy

And the dreams in between

Tell me a story

All about yours truly

Photographs from the past

Imagine the mystery

Didja get your head lost in a daydream?

Cinderellawaiting for her charming

Did ya break a heartlike little girls often do?

Pigtails and painted toes

All dressed up in your mother's clothes

Can you shine the light?

Ahcan you shine the light?

Ohplease can you shine some light?

Yeahcan you shine the light?

Shine the light on a shadow

Josephinawould you lay down your defenses?

So I can make sense of

Those colors fading to grey

It's not that you're hiding

SomethingI'd never imply

Yesteryear I may be gone

Can't say the same for today

Yeahjosephina!

Ahjosephina!

How else am I to knowthat all the while

There was a mischievous lookbehind that smile?

It's hard to tellwhen innocence comes and goes

I'm sure that there were timeslife could be unkind

Without a shoulder to cry on

Can you shine the light?

Ahcan you shine the light?

Yeahplease can you shine some light?

Yeahcan you shine the light?

Yeahcan you shine the light?

Shine the light on a shadow

(ah-ah-ah)

(ah-ah-ah)

(ah-ah-ah)
