Josephina
there'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
no, nothing could be further
i look back and i wonder
what you were like, long before
Josephina
if i asked you, would 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
did your head get lost in a daydream
cinderella, waiting for her charming
did you break a heart, like little girls often do?

pigtails and painted toes
all dressed up in your mother's clothes
can you shine the light
can you shine the light
please can you shine some light
can you shine the light?
shine the light on a shadow
Josephina
would you lay down your defenses?
so i can make sense of
those colors fading to grey
it's not that you're hiding
that's something, i'd never imply
yesteryear may be gone
can't say the same for today
how else am i to know, that all the while
there was a mischievous look, behind the smile
it's hard to tell, when innocence comes and goes
i'm sure that there were times, life could be so unkind
when there wasn't always, a shoulder to cry
can you shine the light
can you shine the light
please can you shine some light
can you shine the light
can you shine the light?
shine the light on a shadow
