CHRISTINE

(The scene begins to change. Trance-like, CHRISTINE
moves slowly upstage. We hear the distant sound of
bells)
Little Lotte
thought of everything and nothing . . .
Her Father promised her
that he would send her the Angel of Music . . .
Her father promised her . . .
Her father promised her . .

A GRAVEYARD

(A mausoleum with hanging moss. In the centre a
pyramid of skulls in front of a cross.)

CHRISTINE
You were once
my one companion . . .
you were all
that mattered . . .

You were once
a friend and father -
then my world
was shattered . . .

Wishing you were
somehow here again . . .
wishing you were
somehow near . . .

Sometimes it seemed
if I just dreamed,
somehow you would
be here . . .

Wishing I could
hear your voice again . . .
knowing that I
never would . . .

Dreaming of you
won't help me to do
all that you dreamed
I could . . .

Passing bells
and sculpted angels,
cold and monumental,
seem, for you,
the wrong companions -
you were warm and gentle . . .

Too many years
fighting back tears . . .
Why can't the past
just die . . .?

Wishing you were
somehow here again!
knowing we must
say goodbye . . .

Try to forgive . . .
teach me to live . . .
give me the strength
to try . . .

No more memories,
no more silent tears!
No more gazing across
the wasted years . . .

Help me say...
goodbye
