Josephine

Josephine - Magnolia Electric Co./Jason Molina

I turned your life so upside down.

I don't know how you stayed or why.

Looking always over my shoulder;

Exactly what I wanted to find was already mine.

Josephine, Josephine

But I saw the horizon and

I had to know where it all ends.

I lived so long with the shadows,

Lord, I became one of them.

Oh what a fool I've been.

Oh what a fool I've been.

Josephine, Josephine

Now I take the hand I took for

Granted and I set it free.

Oh what a fool I've been

Oh what a fool I've been.

Josephine, Josephine

Some folks see the horizon

And never need to know how it all ends

Leave the shadows behind;

Don't go chasing after 'em.

You lock the door and put them

Old records on. I hear you crying along.

Oh what a fool I've been

Oh what a fool I've been.

No more will the final words

Be the tears in your eyes.

Oh how I tried.

Oh how I tried.

Oh Josephine, you are free.

Oh Josephine, Josephine.
