Josephine Lyrics - Still - Richard Thompson

Josephine paces her room 

Josephine wishes the stars would appear 

Breathless she'll run to her tryst 

On the brow of the hill 

If God will 

Josephine looks for a rose 

To perfume the tight angry curls of her hair 

He'll come this once, and maybe 

Again, but where 

Or when

And the leaves blow in 

And the leaves blow into the hall 

Josephine dresses her wound 

One scent of blood and he might disappear 

Or maybe he'll want to devour her 

Whole and complete 

In a heart beat 

Josephine talks in her sleep 

More friends around her asleep than awake 

Cries desolation to phantoms 

But nobody hears 

A dream's tears 

And the leaves blow in 

And the leaves blow into the hall 

Photos 

Josephine writes on the wall 

Writes all the thoughts that escape from her head 

Hundreds and thousands of words 

Written small on a wall 

That's all
