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 your smile Now I can rest assured, knowing that we've 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 Ooh-hoo-hoo Lada-dada, la-da, lada-dada Lada-dada, da-n-dada The coldest winter, in almost fourteen years Could never, never change your mind, yeah Ooh-hoo-ooh And I love ya Yes indeed, and I love ya And I love ya Lordy I love ya Ooh-hoo And I love ya Lord, I love ya
