The Tragically Hip - Goodnight Josephine lyrics

I remember a girl on her cell phone
Surrounded by her friends eyes flickering
She's trying to smother a smile in her hands
Is it someone for us, someone more worry free
Someone who can say, "Leave the
Worrying about him to me, josephine"

I remember you there in the last
Rays of light at diplomacy's end
Eyes flickering, you're crying
"But isn't this when the crimes begin?"
When the people you want to don't
And the people who do, you
Don't believe do you, josephine?

I remember you there at the table
Surrounded by all the day's plans
Eyes flickering
You're trying to let a coffee
Cup warm your hands
Maybe we're born lost, born to persevere
But, honey, i'd walk into your painting
Until I reappeared
As a speck of comet tail dust
A blue green northern light flickering just
In your eyes' deepest ravines

Goodnight, goodnight, Josephine
Goodnight, goodnight, Josephine
Goodnight, goodnight, Josephine
Goodnight, goodnight goodnight, goodnight
Goodnight, goodnight goodnight, goodnight
Goodnight, goodnight goodnight, goodnight
Goodnight, goodnight
Goodnight, goodnight, Josephine josephine
Josephine josephine
