Josephine - Frank Turner

I heard the name Josephine

It came to me in a 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 now, Josephine, show yourself to me

So come on now, Josephine, give me what I need

I don’t like to be needy but needs must

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 a dream
