Josephine

Josephine, I have seen you on the sidewalk Throwing troubles just like flowers to passers by Don't weigh us down, though we have too many anchors And like you we want to sail into the sea I never had the chance to grow up Into what they wanted me to be Every rainbow has an end And it's where the color is leaving Josephine, keep your sunlight in our windows We are rusting like the silos full of grain Josephine, is it true that all state children We will one day be forgotten by our names I never had the chance to grow up Into what they wanted me to be Every rainbow has an end And it's where the color is leaving Josephine, I was written in the skyline You must leave before your time Don't let us die for we need your hands to cling to A doorway we can walk through to heaven I never had the chance to grow up Into what they wanted me to be Every rainbow has an end And it's where the color is leaving --- Josephine - Damien Jurado
