Mandolin Wind

When the rain came, I thought you'd leave 'Cause I knew how much you loved the sun But you chose to stay, stay and keep me warm Through the darkest nights I've ever known If the Mandolin wind Couldn't change a thing Then you know I love ya Oh, the snow fell without a break Buffalo died in the frozen fields, you know Through the coldest winter in almost 14 years I couldn't believe you kept a smile Now, I can rest assured Knowing that we've seen the worst And I know I love ya Oh, I never was good with romantic words So, the next few lines come really hard Don't have much but what I've got is yours Except of course my steel guitar I know you don't play But I'll teach you one day Because I love ya I recall the night we knelt and prayed Noticing your face was thin and pale I found it hard to hide my tears I felt ashamed, I felt I'd let you down No Mandolin wind Couldn't change a thing Couldn't change a thing, hmm (no, no) I love ya I love ya And I love ya, hmm, hmm
