Oh Mandolin, oh mandolin
|
Waiting in the dark
|
Oh Centuries passed down upon
|
Your smooth and Asian skin
|
|
Memories oh memories
|
It stays upon your heart
|
Lovers dance into the trance
|
You leaved by candlelight
|
|
Oh I saw a sunrise like never before
|
Man in pain, I cried for more.
|
|
Oh Mandolin, oh mandolin
|
Waiting in the dark
|
Centuries passed down upon
|
Your smooth and Asian skin
|
|
Incessant sound, incessant sound
|
serves the young appeal.
|
Incestuous I kiss my hand
|
And play the garden drum.
|
|
The lover cried into the silk
|
Many years ago
|
Your voice laid comfort down upon
|
His European skin.
|
|
Oh I saw a sunrise like never before.
|
Man in pain, I cried for more.
|
Oh I saw a sunrise like never before
|
Man in pain, I cried for more.
|
Oh I saw a runrise like never before
|
Man in pain, I cried for more
|
|
Oh Mandolin, oh mandolin
|
Waiting in the dark
|
Centuries passed down upon
|
Your smooth and Asian skin.
