Lyrics
Oh, the summer came and went like the times that we spent
Hiding out from the rain under the carnival tent
We laughed and she'd smile, it would last for a while
You don't know what you've got 'til you lose it all again
Listen to the mandolin rain
Listen to the music on the lake
Oh, listen to my heart break every time she runs away
Listen to the banjo wind, sad songs drifting low
Listen to the tears roll down my face as she turns to go
A cool evening dance, listen to the bluegrass band
Take the chill from the air 'til 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
Oh, listen to my heart break every time she runs away
Listen to the banjo wind, sad songs drifting low
Hey, listen to the tears as they roll down my face as she turns to go
Running down by the lake shore
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
To the sound of the mandolin man
Listen to the mandolin man
Well, 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
Yes, listen to the music on the lake
Listen to my heart break every time she runs away
Listen to the banjo wind, sad songs drifting low
Listen to the tears roll, roll down my face as she turns to go
Oh, as she turns to go
Listen to the mandolin, mandolin rain
Listen to the tears roll, roll down my face as she turns to go
Listen to the tears roll down my face as she turns to go
Listen to the mandolin rain
Oh, listen to the mandolin, mandolin rain
Her face as she turns to go
Down my face as she turns to go
Oh, listen to the falling rain
Down my face as she turns to go
Falling rain, falling rain
When the last rose of summer pricks my finger
And the hot sun chills me to the bone
When I can't hear the song for the singer
And I can't tell a pillow from a stone
Then I will walk alone by the black muddy river
And sing me a song of my own
And I will walk alone by the black muddy river
And sing me a song of my own
When the last bolt of sunshine hits the mountain top
And the stars start to splatter 'cross the sky
When the moon splits the southwest horizon
With the scream of an eagle on the fly
And I will walk alone by the black muddy river
And listen to the ripples as they moan
And I will walk alone by the black muddy river
And sing me a song of my own, of my own
When it seems like the night will last forever
And there's nothing left to do but count the years
When the strings of my heart start to sliver
And the stones fall from my eyes instead of tears
Then I will walk alone by the black muddy river
And dream me a dream of my own
Oh, and I will walk alone by the black muddy river
And sing me a song of my own
And sing me a song of my own
And sing me a song of my own, oh yeah
Oh, by the black muddy river
Listen to the rain on the black muddy river
Listen, everybody listen
Listen to the mandolin rain on the black muddy
Listen to the rain, listen to the rain
Listen to the mandolin rain
Listen to the rain, listen to the rain
Listen to the mandolin rain
Listen to the mandolin rain
Listen to the mandolin rain
Listen to the mandolin rain
Listen to the mandolin rain
