The Honeycutters - Josephine lyrics

Little one I know, I was blind to let you go After all I'm just another, not a saint I got tired of trying And baby it's just not your time But I hope that you'll come back to me some day Oh Josephine, take pity on me There's sleep in my eyes, I'm dead on my feet Please believe, I've given all that I can give Oh Josephine, take pity on me When a dream comes true, suddenly you got something to lose Worried blues and debts to pay So you drink hard liquor, try to make your skin grow thicker But you're praying to be broken every day Oh Josephine... When I close my eyes to sleep I see your smiling face And every time you leave it gets harder to stay It gets harder to keep turning you away
