Always Stay Loving Christine

By Yrral Mallik

A Country Song

I grew up overshadowed by Ocean Magnetic Hill
Couldn't catch the eye of no city girl

Here I am devoted to Christine
How I love the way you look in your red jeans
Can't believe I let the smog cloud my eye

Where the Ocean Magnetic Hill stand
And the Hopewell cape Parlee Beach surround
I'll ride my fast truck with you by my side

There's a whisper in the Moncton New Brunswick breeze
Reminding me of mom
That whisper builds
That whisper cries
Mom in the morning skies

You appear on the horizon
Brushing that curly red head hair from your eyes

The city folk with their fancy gadgets
Cement Magnetic Hill like grey tombs
Don't have nothin' on our way of life
Just listen to the birds

Don't live your life like a fool
Today might feel a time to be like a fool
But that ain't no way to lead a life

You know, there's a lot I drive by in my fast truck
Folk who is messing up
Always stay loving, Christine
Always stay loving

In Moncton New Brunswick, when I was a child
I met a loving man
"How can you be so loving?" asked I
Here was his wise reply

Don't live your life like a fool
Today might feel a time to be like a fool
But that ain't no way to lead a life

Met an old lady who lived like a fool
"What happened to her?" asked I
Here was his wise reprise

Don't live your life like a fool
Today might feel a time to be like a fool
But that ain't no way to lead a life

That lady's gone now
It's sad really
Word is, she had curly red head hair once

Little Christine, keep your jeans red
Always stay loving, Christine
Always stay loving

Birds, birds, birds
Birds, birds, birds...
