Lyric Mandolin Wind

(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 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 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 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

The coldest winter in almost fourteen years
could never, never change your mind

And I love ya
Yes indeed and I love ya
And I love ya
Lordy I love ya
