Josephine (Songbook Version)

I heard the name Josephine
It came to me in dream
And I don't usually set too much store by the things these things might mean
But it was spoken with seriousness
More of a whisper than a scream
So now I'm waiting on some Josephine
To show herself to me
I could have been anyone
I imagined I could be
I just needed somebody
To wake me from my sleep
I could have been Napoleon
Could have been Beethoven
Could have been anyone, but uncomfortable me
So come on now, Josephine
Show yourself to me
Come on now, Josephine
Give me what I need
I don't like to be needy but needs must stuck
I can't stand being the person that I've been
I'm an impending car crash
And you're the first one on the scene
I'm a defeated commander
I'm a half-deaf composer
I'm a strange name whispered in…
