The Mention of Your Name - Chris Rea

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
