Mandolin Rain

The song came and went like the times that we spent

Hiding out from the rain under the carnival tent

I laughed and she'd smile, it would last for awhile

You don't know what you got till you lose it all again

Listen to the mandolin rain, listen to the music on the lake

Listen to my heart break every time she runs away

Listen to the banjo wind, sad song drifting low

Listen to the tears roll down my face as she turns to go

A cool evening dance listening to the bluegrass band

Takes the chill from the air till they play the last song

I'll do my time, oh keeping you off my mind

But there's moments that I find, I'm not feeling so strong

Listen to the mandolin rain, listen to the music on the lake

Listen to my heart break every time she runs away

Listen to the banjo wind, sad song drifting low

Listen to the tears roll down my face as she turns to go

Running down by the lake shore

She did love the sound of a summer storm

It played on the lake like a mandolin

Now it's washing her away once again, again

Whoa oh oh

Yeah, listen to

Do, do, do

The boat's steaming in, I watch the side wheel spin

And I think about her when I hear that whistle blow

I can't change my mind, oh I knew all the time

That she'd go, but that's a choice I made long ago

Listen to the mandolin rain, listen to the music on the lake

Listen to my heart break every time she runs away

Listen to the banjo wind, sad song drifting low

Listen to the tears roll down my face as she turns to go, as she turns to go

Listen to the, listen to the mandolin rain

Listen to the tears roll down my face as she turns to go

Listen to the tears roll down my face as she turns to go

Listen to the mandolin rain
