Ten long years
Living a mere facade of life
Ten long years
Wasting my time on smoke and noiseIn my mind
I hear melodies pure and unearthly
But I find
I can't give them a voice without youMy Christine, my Christine
Lost and gone, lost and goneThe day starts
The day ends
Time crawls by
Night steals in pacing the floor
The moments creep
Yet I can't bear to sleep
'Til I hear you singAnd weeks pass
And months pass
Seasons flyStill you don't walk through the door
And in a haze
I count the silent days
'Til I hear you sing once moreAnd sometimes at night time
I dream that you are there
But wake holding nothing
But the empty airAnd years come
And years go
Time runs dry
Still I ache down to the core
My broken soul
Can't be alive and whole
'Til I hear you sing once moreAnd music, your music
It teases at my ear
I turn and it fades away
And you're not hereLet hopes pass
Let dreams pass
Let them dieWithout you, what are they for?
I'll always feel
No more than halfway real
'Til I hear you sing once more
