Gary Hughes: Christine [lyrics]

Gary Hughes

Christine

You're fast asleep again, the fantasy's the same

The same old dress, your feet caress the street again

You were younger then

You were younger then

Have they hurt you, are they gentle on your mind

Or does it all become familiar overnight

When you're holding me

Does it feel the same...

Or shame

CHORUS

Christine, when they close you can't disguise

There are tears in those eyes

You're tryin' to hide

Christine, lyin' back you're open wide

But there's something left inside

So feel it this time

Do you still compromise the company you keep

A mind that always finds a substitute for sleep

And you can't deny

That it makes you cry...

Have many lovers walked along the same parade

Can you recall them all or do the memories fade

Does it leave you cold

If the truth were told...

Christine

CHORUS
