Hornsby Bruce 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 too 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 wat

 h 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
