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 |
|
'cause the mandolin wind couldn't change a thing |
|
And I know I love ya |
|
Oh the snow fell without a break |
|
Ah the 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 big 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 |
|
'cause I know you don't play |
|
But I'll teach you some day |
|
'cause I love ya |
|
Oh, I recall the night we knelt and prayed |
|
Noticing your face was still 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 |
