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 till you lose it all again
|
|
Listen to the mandolin rain
|
Listen to the music on the lake
|
Listen to my heart break every time she runs away
|
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
|
Listening to the bluegrass band takes the chill
|
>from the air till they play the last song
|
I'll do my time
|
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
|
Listen to my heart break every time she runs away
|
Listen to the banjo wind
|
A sad song drifting lowListen to the tears roll
|
Down my face as she turns to go
|
|
Running 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 again
|
|
Listen to the mandolin rain
|
Listen to the music on the lake
|
Listen to my heart break every time she runs away
|
Listen to the banjo wind
|
A sad song drifting low
|
Listen to the tears roll
|
Down my face as she turns to go
|
|
The boat's steaming in
|
I watch the sidewheel spin and i
|
Think about her when i hear that whistle blow
|
I can't change my mind
|
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
|
Listen to my heart break every time she runs away
|
Listen to the banjo wind
|
A sad song drifting low
|
Listen to the tears roll
|
Down my face as she turns to go
|
