Irene, where are you
I first read about you as a boy
And all my life
I've been waiting to perceive
If you're real or make-believe
And could you come and save me from
The dull, the dry, the boring, stifled cries
Of those who think that life means death
So give up every try
I've been waiting ages
So step out from the pages
Irene
Irene, hear my pleas
And don't discard me like a childhood toy
Come share my life
Let's take this world together
Untie the fiction tether
Run free as dogs and take off where
The full, the wry, the witty dare to prize
And though they know that life means death
They give it every try
And I've been waiting ages
So step out from the pages
Irene
Irene, now's the time
Can I tempt you from your history
And rewrite our lives
I know there's competition
Don't let that halt decision
For me you are the woman
The key,the mark, the light amid the dark
A literary life with a literary wife
Is all I need to spark
And I've been waiting ages
So step out from the pages
Raina
I know you so well
And I don't mean the lights on
Your love's the ink that writes on
The blank pages I've yet to fill
And I've been waiting ages
So step out from the pages
Irene
And I've been waiting ages
So step out from the pages
Irene
