Mandolin Rain - Live - Winter 2005

Well, 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 'til you lose it all again
 Listen to the mandolin rain, listen to the music on the lake
 Oh, listen to my heart break every time she runs away
 Listen to the banjo wind, sad song drifting low
 Listen to the tears as they roll, roll down my face as she turns to go
 A cool evening dance listening to the bluegrass band
 Takes the chill from the air 'til they play the last song
 The bluegrass band, listen to the bluegrass band
 ♪
 I'll do my time and keeping you off my mind
 But there's moments that I find, oh, I'm not feeling so strong, yes
 Listen to the mandolin rain, listen to the music on the lake
 Oh, listen to my heart break every time she runs away
 Listen to the banjo wind, sad song drifting low
 Listen to the tears as they roll, roll as she turns to go
 Down my face as she turns to go
 Running down by the lake shore
 She did love the sound of a summer storm
 It played on the lake like a mandolin
 Now it's washing her away, washing her away once, once again
 To the sound of the mandolin rain
 Rain
 ♪
 Well, the boat's steaming in, I watch the side wheel spin
 And I think about her when I hear that whistle blow
 Can't change my mind that I knew all the time
 That she'd go, but that's a choice I made long ago
 Listen to the mandolin rain, listen to the music on the lake
 Oh, but listen to my heart break every time she runs away
 Listen to the banjo wind, sad song drifting low
 Listen to the tears as they roll, roll down my face as she turns to go
 Roll as she turns to go, oh
 Down my face as she turns to go
 ♪
 Listen to the tears roll down my face as she turns, as she turns to go
 As she turns to go
 As she turns to go
 ♪
 Yeah, as she turns to go
 That would be something
 Listen to the rain
 Listen to the mandolin rain, yeah-yeah
 Yeah, yeah
