Chris Rea. .. The Mention of Your Name

A most beautiful meaningful track from the Auberge album 1991. Wonderfully sincere, touching and wistful. Written and Recorded by Chris Rea Album: Auberge 1991 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 could not 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 At the mention of your name
