Mandolin Rain Lyrics
Mandolin RainB. R. Hornsby/John HornsbyThe song came and wentLike the times that we spentHiding out from the rain under the carnival tentI laughed and she'd smileIt would last for awhileYou don't know what you got till you lose it all againListen to the mandolin rainListen to the music on the lakeListen to my heart break every time she runs awayListen to the banjo windA sad song drifting lowListen to the tears rollDown my face as she turns to goA cool evening danceListening to the bluegrass band takes the chill>From the air till they play the last songI'll do my timeKeeping you off my mind but there's momentsThat I find, I'm not feeling so strongListen to the mandolin rainListen to the music on the lakeListen to my heart break every time she runs awayListen to the banjo windA sad song drifting lowListen to the tears rollDown my face as she turns to goRunning down by the lakeshoreShe did love the sound of a summer stormIt played on the lake like a mandolinNow it's washing her away againListen to the mandolin rainListen to the music on the lakeListen to my heart break every time she runs awayListen to the banjo windA sad song drifting lowListen to the tears rollDown my face as she turns to goThe boat's steaming inI watch the sidewheel spin and IThink about her when I hear that whistle blowI can't change my mindI knew all the time that she'd goBut that's a choice I made long agoListen to the mandolin rainListen to the music on the lakeListen to my heart break every time she runs awayListen to the banjo windA sad song drifting lowListen to the tears rollDown my face as she turns to go
