Bruce Hornsby And The Range Mandolin Rain Lyrics

Mandolin Rain Lyrics

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

CHORUS
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 so strong

CHORUS

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

CHORUS

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

CHORUS
