Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Josephine
I am an animal inside
Would you care to walk with me
If I lose my wings tonight?
I heard the Catholic girls
Praying they won't die
But we don't believe in those things
In this life
[Chorus]
So how in all of space and time
Did I be yours and you be mine?
The living dead leaves me unkind
Face to face with our decline
[Instrumental]
It's only been four years
It's only been eighteen days
Only one half of a lifetime
Since I saw you this way
Now I see you standing there
I pray that I won't cry
But we don't believe in those things
In this life
[Chorus]
So how in all of space and time
Did I be yours and you be mine?
The living dead leaves me unkind
Face to face with our decline
[Instrumental]
So how in all of space and time
Did I be yours and you be mine?
