Mandolin Wind

When the rain came I thought you'd leave

Cause I knew how much

You loved the sun

But you chose to stay

Stay and keep me warm

Through the darkest nights

I've ever known

If the mandolin wind

Couldn't change a thing

Then I know I love ya

Oh the snow fell without a break

Buffalo died in the frozen fields you know

Through the coldest winter

In almost fourteen years

I couldn't believe you kept a smile

Now I can rest assured

Knowing that weve seen the worst

And I know I love ya

Oh I never was good with romantic words

So the next few lines come really hard

Don't have much

But what I've got is yours

Except of course my steel guitar

Ha cause I know you don't play

But I'll teach you one day

Because I love ya

I recall the night we knelt and prayed

Noticing your face was thin and pale

I found it hard to hide my tears

I felt ashamed

I felt I'd let you down

No mandolin wind

Couldn't change a thing

Couldn't change a thing no no

The coldest winter in almost fourteen years

Could never never change your mind

And I love ya

Yes indeed and I love ya

And I love ya

Lordy I love ya

Lordy I love ya
