Mandolin Rain Lyrics

The song came and went 
Like the times that we spent
Hiding out from the rain under that canival tent 
I'd  laugh and he'd smile
and it would last for a while 
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 that he goes away 
Listen to the banjo wind a sad song drifting low
Listen to my tears roll down my face as he turns to go 



A cool evening dance 
listen to the bluegrass band takes the chill 
from the air till they play the last song
and i'll do my time 
Kepping you off my mind but there's moments
that i find i'm not feeling so strong


(Chorus)

Running down by the lakeshore
he did love the sound of a summer storm 
it played  on the lake like a mandolin 
now  it's washing him away once again 
once again once again

(Chorus)

 Listen to my tears roll  down my face  as he turns to go
