Christine.



Another cold coffee one stale cigarette
She takes a slow walk to the door
The memories linger, she never forgets
But she knows she can’t stay anymore.
And the passionate dreaming that keeps her alive
Seems cloudy and distant now
She’s finding it hard day by day to survive
But she knows she will anyhow.

It’s just another road Christine
It’s just another forgotten dream
It’s just another path to make
A challenge you can overtake
And if you take your time Christine
The chances are you’ll find your dream
But if you pass me on the way
I’m not objecting if you stay.
Because I still remember ……….

The long summer nights when we saw the sun rise
Those lazy timeless days
The plans that we made and the stars in our eyes
Are memories I can’t erase.
I can’t understand why you had to go
I guess you needed to be free
If your journey leads you back to my door
Then why not spend some time with me.

Very good! I can see the middle stanza would work well as a chorus in a song. Those short but sharp lines would suit one very well.

I agree that this needs the musical treatment - or at least an audio, to be heard/seen at its best. Well done Tony,

Regards,

In just three stanza's you tell a tale that spans a lifetime. I agree with others that say it should be a song, but I also feel it could be a short story of sorts if you wanted it to be.

Nice wordage Tony.

I agree about its potential as a song, using the A B A (B) format. You repeat the first B as shown ( ) - then insert an instrumental interval before repeating the second A B to close. The word "remember" not only leads on earlier but ALSO serves to FINISH the song in an appealing way. I can hear George Hamilton 1V or Don Williams singing this.

I agree. It would make an excellent song, Tony.
The opening verse reminds me a little of The Eagles, "Lyin' Eyes".
