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
