I heard the name Josephine
C minorCm Bb majorBb
It came to me in a dream

AbAb Bb majorBb

C minorCm Bb majorBb
More of a whisper than a scream.
AbAb Bb majorBb
So now I'm waiting on some Josephine
C minorCm Bb majorBb
To show herself to me

AbAb Bb majorBb
I'm an impending car crash

I'm a strange name whispered in a dream
