Tell me where did the years go

Summer used to move so damn slowly

It was like an eternity

Coming out of the silence

Mission bells in the distance

Are they ringing for you and me

No it's your restless heart beating double time

As you drown your pain in wine

Trying to make it through one day

As you dream about some day

Maybe then it'll be alright

But you're dressing in blue tonight

I remember the first time

You consented to be mine

All around us the lightning played

I can still hear the thunder

And the feeling was so wonderful

Wonderful and so frightening babe

But you froze your heart and you closed your mind

And you drowned your pain in wine

Trying to make it through one day

As you dream about some day

Maybe then it'll be alright

But you're dressing in blue tonight

Blue the color of midnight covered in frost

It will never replace the love you have lost

It's just your restless heart beating double time

As you drown your pain in wine

Trying to make it through one day

As you dream about some day

Maybe then it'll be alright

But you're dressing in blue tonight
