Listen to the mandolin rain, listen to the music on the lake
Takes the chill from the air 'til they play the last song
Listen to my heart break, everytime that he goes away
You don't know what you got 'til you lose it all again
Listen to the banjo wind, a sad song drifting low
Listen to the banjo wind, a sad song drifting low
Listen to my heart break, everytime that he goes away
Listen to the banjo wind, a sad song drifting low
Cool evening dance, listening to the bluegrass band
Now it's washing him away once again, once again
Listen to my tears roll down my face as he turns to go
Listen to my heart break, everytime that he goes away
Listen to the mandolin rain, listen to the music on a lake
It played on a lake like a mandolin
Listen to the mandolin rain, listen to the music on the lake
Running down by the lakeshore
Listen to my tears roll down my face as he turns to go
That I find, I'm not feeling so strong
And I'll do my time keeping you off my mind but there's moments
I'd laugh and he'd smile and it would last for a while
He did love the sound of a summer storm
Listen to my tears roll down my face as he turns to go
