Mandolin Rain

The song came and went, like the times that we spent
 Hiding out from the rain under the carnival tent
 Often she'd smile it would last for a while
 You don't know what you've got 'til you lose it all again
 Listen to the mandolin rain, listen to the music on the lake
 Ah, listen to my heart break every time she runs away
 Oh, 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 listenin' to the bluegrass band
 Takes the chill from the air until they play the last song
 I'll do my time, oh, keeping you off my mind
 But there's moments that I find, I'm not feeling so strong
 Listen to the mandolin rain, listen to the music on the lake
 Ah, listen to my heart break every time she runs away
 Oh, listen to the banjo wind, a sad song drifting low
 Listen to the tears roll down my face as she turns to go
 Runnin' 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, whoa, again
 ♪
 Whoa, whoa-oh
 Yeah, yeah, yeah
 Ooh-ooh-ooh, miss ya
 Ooh-ooh
 The boat's steaming in, oh, I watch the sidewheel spin
 And I think about her when I hear that whistle blow
 I can't change my mind, oh, I knew all the time that she'd go
 That's a choice I made long ago
 Listen to the mandolin rain, listen to the music on the lake
 Ah, listen to my heart break every time she runs away
 Oh, listen to the banjo wind, a sad song drifting low
 Listen to the tears roll down my face as she turns to go
 As she turns to go
