Josephina, there's so much I want to know
I've known you for all of mine
But not all of yours

You're not a stranger
No, nothing could be further
I look back and I wonder

What you were like, long before

Josephina, if I asked you, would you tell me?

The fact from the fancy
And the dreams in between
Tell me a story

All about yours truly
Photographs from the past
Imagine the mystery


Didja get your head lost in a daydream?
Cinderella, waiting for her charming

Did ya break a heart, like little girls often do?
Pigtails and painted toes
All dressed up in your mother's clothes

Can you shine the light?
Ah, can you shine the light?
Oh, please can you shine some light?

Yeah, can you shine the light?
Shine the light on a shadow


Josephina, would you lay down your defenses?
So i can make sense of
Those colors fading to grey

It's not that you're hiding
Something, I'd never imply
Yesteryear I may be gone

Can't say the same for today

Yeah, Josephina!


(Guitar Solo)


Ah, Josephina!

How else am I to know, that all the while

There was a mischievous look, behind that smile?
It's hard to tell, when innocence comes and goes
I'm sure that there were times, life could be unkind

Without a shoulder to cry on
Can you shine the light?
Ah, can you shine the light?

Yeah, please can you shine some light?
Yeah, can you shine the light?
Yeah, can you shine the light?

Shine the light on a shadow

(Ah-ah-ah)

(Ah-ah-ah)
