I was traveling light
Traveling with a friend
As Christina came of age
I hung with Christina's friends
They would all come 'round the house
And slowly go insane
Every night now up the bend
I'm in Christina's house again
She was just a lonely soldier
Running with the times and the tides
Maybe just a little older
Quite a ways into the night
ย
Quite a ways into the night
ย
I can see you coming
Creeping slowly up the lane
I can see her falling
In and out of love again
I can still see that street
With that boat off by the shore
Drifting in and out of time
We're in Christina's house once more
Slip behind the valley curtain
Looking for a place to hide
Shaky in these times uncertain
Everyone drunk on red wine
ย
Drunk on red wine
ย
Playing with a flashlight in the dark
3 AM in the morning
Drunk on red, red wine
Tommy smashing bottles against the wall
Christina wading in the water
ย
It's what you know
And you know it
It's every place you go
So don't blow it
Confusion takes away
Makes it all turn wrong
It only takes a day
Or two before I'm gone
ย
Well step right up
To the house of pain
Step right up on the porch
You bet on the wrong horse
Walking through the door at ten
Right about a quarter to ten
And being very, very certain
We're in Christina's house again
She was just a lonely soldier
Running up and down the line
She was pure and white and open
She was somehow out of time
ย
Now she's frozen in time
