Mandolin Wind Songtext
von Amy Helm

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 you 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 14 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

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, hmm (no, no)

I love ya
I love ya
And I love ya, hmm, hmm
