The Mention of Your Name

Time goes by and every single tear It must have well run dry And the lonely nights Become a strange accepted way And the years go past Just like the old song says The pain with time has healed, it couldn't last But oh a friend like a fool Mentions your name Sunny days, drunken nights You smile and say, it's alright But oh the cold cold rain At the mention of your name Forgive me please If I shrug my shoulders When I put my friend at ease As I get older It's not that I don't feel colder than before Oh I've become so good at hiding What I feel without confiding It's still the same, darling still the same At the mention of your name --- The Mention of Your Name - Chris Rea
