Mandolin Rain

Well, 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 'til you lose it all again Listen to the mandolin rain, listen to the music on the lake Oh, listen to my heart break every time she runs away Listen to the banjo wind, sad song drifting low Listen to the tears as they roll, roll down my face as she turns to go A cool evening dance listening to the bluegrass band Takes the chill from the air 'til they play the last song The bluegrass band, listen to the bluegrass band I'll do my time and keeping you off my mind But there's moments that I find, oh, I'm not feeling so strong, yes Listen to the mandolin rain, listen to the music on the lake Oh, listen to my heart break every time she runs away Listen to the banjo wind, sad song drifting low Listen to the tears as they roll, roll as she turns to go 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, washing her away once, once again To the sound of the mandolin rain Rain Well, the boat's steaming in, I watch the side wheel spin And I think about her when I hear that whistle blow Can't change my mind that 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 Oh, but listen to my heart break every time she runs away Listen to the banjo wind, sad song drifting low Listen to the tears as they roll, roll down my face as she turns to go Roll as she turns to go, oh Down my face as she turns to go Listen to the tears roll down my face as she turns, as she turns to go As she turns to go As she turns to go Yeah, as she turns to go That would be something Listen to the rain Listen to the mandolin rain, yeah-yeah Yeah, yeah
