Your friends on the old playgrounds
And I know it ain't easy
But I never had much fun
I know I've been bad
Walkin' home from school?
Sleep on the ground
Won't you come and help me
Josephine, you're so sweet
And maybe the very first mile
With these cuts of mine?
I could spend the night
I never thought I'd be so lonesome
Your schoolgirl style
And I've been thinkin' maybe
I won't make a sound
Drive you into town
When you wake I will
Don't you know, I watched you
And cut myself on the wires, Josephine
You must taste just like sugar and tangerines
Josephine, you're so good to me
Josephine, you're so sweet
Josephine, you're so good to me
I missed your smile
And I know it ain't easy
You never looked so down
I knew all along
I know you've been sad
Josephine, you're so good to me
But if you'd let me
I'd make you ribbons from a paper bag
And I know I was wrong
I've disconnected my heart
Josephine, you're so sweet
And I know it ain't easy
But I got so far from my home
You must taste just like sugar and tangerines
