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 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 she runs away Listen to the banjo wind A sad song drifting low Listen to the tears roll Down my face as she turns to go
A cool evening dance Listening to the bluegrass band takes the chill From the air till they play the last song I'll do my time 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 Listen to my heart break every time she runs away Listen to the banjo wind A sad song drifting low Listen to the tears roll Down my face as she turns to go
Running down by the lakeshore She did love the sound of a summer storm It played on the lake like a mandolin Now it's washing her away once again...again
Listen to the mandolin rain Listen to the music on the lake Listen to my heart break every time she runs away Listen to the banjo wind A sad song drifting low Listen to the tears roll Down my face as she turns to go
The boat's steaming in I watch the sidewheel spin and I Think about her when I hear that whistle blow I can't change my mind 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 Listen to my heart break every time she runs away 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, oh hoh... Listen to the mandolin rain... Whoa whoa whoa whoa oh hoh...
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
Ahhh... Listen to the mandolin rain...

2. He's a fantastic live performer too. |
|
He'll be playing right out in front of my apartments in August (I live on national park property, and they have live concerts at the park all through the summer, I also get to see Hot Tuna, Dar Williams, Judy Collins, Los Lobos and the Indigo Girls). It's sweet, the concerts are only $10-15 and they start at 7:30 in the evening, over by 10:00 or so, so when it's a concert I don't want to go to, it's quiet by the time I'm ready for bed :P

3. Wow...I'll bet that's cool!! |
|
They have free concerts down by the lake in the summer, it's just so damn hot down here in the summer, and I am too damn old to go hang out with a bunch of younger folks, and sweat my booty off! :)
That's very cool though, I love him!!!

6. Yes indeed . . . especially if you can completely relate to what he's |
|
saying, having been there yourself . . .
He also puts some very cool imagery in the song, you can completely visualize the type of summer storm he's describing and the sounds . . .
