More on this later. For now, here are the lyrics. ~~GH

Songwriters: HORNSBY, BRUCE / HORNSBY, JOHN

With John Hornsby 

The song came and went 
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 
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 

Oh, 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 
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 
Aw, listen to my heart break 
Every time she runs away 

Oh, 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 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... whoa, again 

Whoa whoa whoa... 
Yeah-eah-eah-eah-eah-eah... 
Oooooh... 
Listen to... 
Do, do, do... 

Boat's steaming in 
Ho, I watch the side wheel spin and I 
Think about her when 
I hear that whistle blow 

But, I can't change my mind 
Oh, 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 
Aw, 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, 
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... oh, whoa... 

Listen to the mandolin rain... 

Ooh, yeah... 
Woo hoo...
