Josie Lyrics

Josie Lyrics

It gets harder to forget her, come December
When the alder branches bare their crooked chassis into view
The birds run from the bitter touch of winter
And all the while I long that I can vacate this hell too
Cut through the roots
But there's always you to play me like a fool
To read me like a book
Who always let me down when I needed you
Caroline had the eyes of a habitual liar
Black as night behind a siren's kiss of ocean blue
Desiree played the victim through wit and through whim
But despite all her tears I never felt like I was cruel
The way you make me do
You could make a stone heart croon
As you tie the noose
And it's only you who plays me like a fool
Who reads me like a book
To hang me from a dream and never cut me loose
