Mandolin Rain - Bruce Hornsby & the Range

Written by：J. Hornsby/Elliot Scheiner

The song came and went

Like the times that we spent

Hiding out from the rain under the carnival tent

Laughed and she'd smile

It would last for a while

You don't know what you've got till 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

Oh listen to the banjo wind

A sad song drifting low

Listen to the tears roll

Down my face as she turns to go

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

Whooa whooa hooo yeaahh yeaahh yeaahh

Hooohooooo

The boat's steaming in

Oh I watch the sidewheel spin

And I think about her when hear that whistle blow

I can't change my mind

Ooh 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 whoooo hooooo hooo

Listen to listen to the mandolin rain

Whooo haaap haaaaaapp

Listen to the tears roll

Down my face as she turns to go

Listen to the tears roll

Down my face as she turns to go hoo hoooo

Hoooo hoooo hoooo

Listen to the mandolin rain yeah
