The song came and went
Like the times that we spent
Hiding out from the rain under the carnival tent
Id laugh and hed smile
And it would last for a while
You dont 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 that he goes away
Listen to the banjo wind a sad song drifting low
Listen to my tears roll down my face as he turns to go
A cool evening dance
Listening to the bluegrass band takes the chill
From the air till they play the last song
And Ill do my time
Keeping you off my mind but theres 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 that he goes away
Listen to the banjo wind a sad song drifting low
Listen to my tears roll down my face as he turns to go
Running down by the lakeshore
He did love the sound of a summer storm
It played on the lake like a mandolin
Now its washing him away once again
Once again
Listen to the banjo wind a sad song drifting low
Listen to my tears roll down my face as he turns to go
Listen to my tears roll down my face as he turns to go
