Lyrics Dion – Josie

Just got a letter from Josie this morning
Had to read between the lines
She was sitting all alone
Gazing through the window blinds

Wearing the same old mournful smile
For an old love god knows where
All the children, they laugh at the old woman as she passes
With old fashioned clothes and tape-mended glasses

Josie, Josie, hold on for me
Comin’ from California
To be with you, Josie
The world holds no love for a driftin’ boy like me
Travellin’ fast on gods wind to be with you Josie

Remember the garden you once walked
To put your troubled mind at ease
Well it is gone now to buildings
They even took the Cypress tree
Cinders take the place of fallen leaves

We’ll spend time out there talking
You know I’d love to fix you tea
I could tell you of people
All the places I got to see
Josie hold on please

Josie, Josie hold on for me
Comin’ from California to be with you Josie
The world holds no love for a driftin’ boy like me
Travellin’ fast on God’s wind to be with you Josie

Josie, Josie hold on for me
Comin’ from California to be with you Josie
