[PHANTOM]
Ten long years
Living a mere facade of life
Ten long years
Wasting my time on smoke and noise

In my mind
I hear melodies pure and unearthly
But I find
I can't give them a voice without you!

My Christine, my Christine
Lost and gone, lost and gone

The day starts, the day ends
Time crawls by
Night steals in pacing the floor
The moments creep
Yet I can't bear to sleep
Till I hear you sing

And weeks pass and months pass
Seasons fly
Still you don't walk through my door
And in a haze
I count the silent days
Till I hear you sing once more
And sometimes in darkness
I dream that you are there
But wake, holding nothing but the cold night air

And years come and years go
Time runs dry
Still I ache deep in my core
My broken soul
Can't be alive or whole
Till I hear you sing once more

And music, your music
It teases at my ear
I turn and it fades away and you're not here!

Let hopes pass, let dreams pass
Let them die!
Without you, what are they for?
I always feel
No more than halfway real
Till I hear you sing once more!
