Josephina — текст песни (Van Halen)

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 took 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?
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 white
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?
Please can you shine some light?
Can you shine the light?
Shine the light on a shadow
