Bruce Hornsby & The Range Mandolin Rain lyrics

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'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
Listen 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
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


Runnin' down by the lake shore
She did love the sound of a summer storm
Played on the lake like a mandolin
Now it's washing her away, once again
Whoa, again

Boats steaming in
Oh, watch the side wheels spin
And I think about her when
I hear that whistle blow
I can't change my mind
Oh, 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, 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
Listen to the, listen to the mandolin rain

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
Listen to the mandolin rain
