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 wayAnd 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 nameSunny days, drunken nights

You smile and say, it's all right

But oh, the cold, cold rain

At the mention of your nameForgive 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 beforeOh, 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
