paroles de chanson Josephine - Steve Kilbey

The pavements are all dripping wet
Since the tempest hit this town
And the tarot cards were right
The stocks have all gone down

The cold and heaving ocean
Convulsing and so green
We'll have some wine and roses yes
But not tonight Josephine

The gates are open
The gates are closed
All the creatures all run through
And the violets are all red
And the roses are all blue

A solitary heron
On a sky upon a screen
A little wine and roses yes
But not tonight Josephine

The surfers in their wetsuits
The bakers with their dough
The dogs are in their cat suits
And the cats are lying low

I'm in the strange and remote place
Half a world between
A little wine and roses yes
But not tonight Josephine

I wish that you were by my side
Then you would plainly see
Lord I was the man for you
You were the girl for me

But when you left me sleeping
You walked out of my dream
A little wine and roses yes
But not tonight Josephine

A little wine and roses yes
But not tonight
