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 all right 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
