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
    did your head get lost in a daydream
  cinderella, waiting for her charming
  did you 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
  can you shine the light
  please can you shine some light
  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
  that's something, i'd never imply
  yesteryear may be gone
  can't say the same for today
    how else am i to know, that all the while
  there was a mischievous look, behind the smile
  it's hard to tell, when innocence comes and goes
  i'm sure that there were times, life could be so unkind
  when there wasn't always, a shoulder to cry
  can you shine the light
  can you shine the light
  please can you shine some light
  can you shine the light
  can you shine the light?
  shine the light on a shadow
