Mandolin Wind - Lyrics by Stewart Rod


Lyrics
(
Rod Stewart)
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 warmthrough the darkest nights I've ever known
If the mandolin wind couldn't change a thingthen 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 a 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 wordsso the next few lines come really hard
Don't have much but what I've got is yoursexcept of course my steel guitar
Ha, 'cause I know you don't playbut I'll teach you one daybecause 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
The coldest winter in almost fourteen yearscould never, never change your mind
And I love ya
Yes indeed and I love ya
And I love ya
Lordy I love ya
