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 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 and drunken nights

You smile and say, oh, 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 friends 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

Darlin', still the same

At the mention of your name
