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
