Josephine Video (MV)

I'm too old to get divorced
Better stay the course
'Cause before long, I'll be waking up tired every day
I'm too old to make new friends
Better make amends
Time to empty out the junk drawer
For those kinder words I used to say

And so I make my case on scented stationary
Sad and sweet, like a canary with a cold
Did I break my promise?
I've just been so nervous
Think I lost a hair for every lie I told

But I'd hate to think that this might be
The last thing that I say to you
I still could run away with you
If you'll meet me in a dream
And I'm so silly since I met you, honey
I sing myself asleep
You have made an old man happy, Josephine

And I remember Central Park
You were waiting for the carousel to start
Sidesaddle, so you wouldn't tear your homemade skirt
You had a ponytail and a pink t-shirt
And I remember visiting
The dorm on 57th Street
And the other girls on the frisbee team
Who thought I was your dad

And it's safe to say that this might be
The hardest thing I'll ever do
Perhaps someday I'll send for you
Assuming I'm alive
All those silly things we told each other
We meant them at the time
Now we mean them more than ever

But I'd hate to think that this might be
The last thing that I say to you
I still could run away with you
If you'll meet me in a dream
And I'm so silly since I met you, honey
I sing myself asleep
You have made an old man happy, Josephine
