Dreamt I was back with the pirates and cats of my sommerville
                                                        
The girl in the alphabet shirt covered in dirt lives on the hill

                                         
Well, my sweet Josephine, Are you still racing stray dogs
               
Across the old stream?
                                                              /  
My neighbourhood queen, Are you still kissing cowboys that cry, Josephine?

                                           
She stole my grandmother’s watch, a treasure to touch, to keep time to
       
Herself
                                                
Her mind was a very big house, we got lost there for hours until August
    
Fell

                                          
Well, my sweet Josephine, Are you still racing stray dogs
               
Across the old stream?
                                                                  
My neighbourhood queen, Are you still kissing cowboys that cry, Josephine?

                                         
You say you’re alright, but Josie it’s time
                    
You gotta get your feet on the ground
                                                               
But she says: “No, don’t you see we have wings, It’s the funniest thing
               
it’s just that no ones knows”
                 
No one knows, sweet Josephine
