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
A 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
Keeping you off my mind but there's moments
That I find
I'm not
feeling too 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
A sad song drifting low
Listen to the tears roll
Down my
face as she turns to go
Running down by the lakeshore
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
The boat's steaming in
I watch the
sidewheel spin
And I think about her when I hear that whistle blow
I can't
change my mind
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
A sad song drifting low
Listen to the tears roll
Down my face as
she turns to go
