lyrics

Did you hear stories of Italy like I hear stories of you
On this day 100 years ago when the world was brand new
I feel you in my thoughts at night when i am alone
In a warm summer breeze or a flower growing through a storm

I follow you down the avenue
Walk up your flight of stairs
If you could see what i see now
you ‘d fly away your cares

Oh Josephine
Riding on your motorcycle
And all the days in between
Sunset in your eyes

The pine trees touch the misty sky the summer has no name
I’m gonna sit here and wait for night to come I bet you’d do the same
I was 40 years when i wrote this song I’ll be 41 years soon
Saw my face once in a photography which said 1952

I can hear the thoughts of strangers
I can hear a robin’s tune
I can hear the random passing
Of a Tuesday afternoon

Oh Josephine
Riding on your motorcycle
And all the days in between
Sunset in your eyes

Put your hand in my hands put your arm in my arm
Somewhere far across the universe I can keep you safe from harm

If I’m not here are you still here
If i fall asleep do you disappear
If i don’t wait do you fall behind
Are you still good if i become unkind

Oh Josephine
Riding on your motorcycle
And all the days in between
Sunset in your eyes
Oh Josephine
Quietly smiling and winking at me
Earth and sky in the sweet by and by
Taking turns dancing with the sea
