about

for Emily (Goff) Fratson

lyrics

We were eighteen when I met you Josephine
Bright-eyed, and naive, and young
You came from the cotton fields, I came from the coast
And together we gave up their ghosts

I miss you, dear Josephine
Like the salt in my blood longs for the sea
If I am fish out of water, then you’re a bird flying free
I go on missing you, Josephine

Years flew by like lightning ‘cross the summer sky
Pitchers of sweet tea, whiskey and rye
Skippin’ stones off the levee when the river ran high
‘Down home in Dixie’ we cried

I miss you dear Josephine
Like the salt in my blood longs for the sea
If I am a fish out of water, then you’re a bird flying free
I go on missing you, Josephine

We both changed for the better
Either way, we both changed for good
Well I never could put it down in a letter
Tell me now, do you think that I could say

I miss you dear Josephine
Like the salt in my blood longs for the sea
If I am a fish out of water, then you’re a bird flying free
I go on missing you, Josephine

If I am a fish out of water, then you’re a bird flying free
So go on, fly away Josephine
