Mandolin Rain Lyrics - Pam Tillis

Song came and went like the times that we spent 

Hiding out from the rain under the carnival tent 

I'd laugh and he'd smile and it would last for a while 

You don't know what you got 'til you lose it all again 

Listen to the mandolin rain, listen to the music on a lake 

Listen to my heart break, everytime that he goes away 

Listen to the banjo wind, a sad song drifting low 

Listen to my tears roll down my face as he turns to go 

Cool evening dance, listening to the bluegrass band 

Takes the chill from the air 'til they play the last song 

And 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, everytime that he goes away 

Listen to the banjo wind, a sad song drifting low 

Listen to my tears roll down my face as he turns to go 

Running down by the lakeshore 

He did love the sound of a summer storm 

It played on a lake like a mandolin 

Now it's washing him away once again, once again 

Listen to the mandolin rain, listen to the music on the lake 

Listen to my heart break, everytime that he goes away 

Listen to the banjo wind, a sad song drifting low 

Listen to my tears roll down my face as he turns to go 

Listen to my tears roll down my face as he turns to go
