When I Hear Her Name

Hot Water Music · Hot Water Music [1995]

The trains depart upon the hour all the time.

It gets me thinking, maybe this one's mine.

So hard to break away, but that's the way I feel.

To try to get to something that's more real.



[Chorus]

The time came when I saw

That there was more than this

The memories, it seems I'll miss.

Those empty dreams, those broken seams,

It's all the same.

It still hurts when I hear her name.



I tried to walk away, but to no avail.

A vain attempt maybe, but I didn't fail.

The people, the parties, oh how I couldn't take.

I played those silly games, all for her own sake.



[Repeat Chorus]
