Mandolin
Oh Mandolin, oh mandolinWaiting in the darkCenturies passed down uponYour smooth Venetian skinMemories oh memoriesLay stains upon your heartWhen lovers dance into the tranceYou weaved by candlelightOh I saw a sunrise like never beforeAs mandolin played I cried for more.Oh Mandolin, oh mandolinWaiting in the darkCenturies passed down uponYour smooth Venetian skinIncessant sound, incessant soundThat stirs the young and pureIncestuous I kiss my handAnd play the calling drum.The lover cried into the silkMany years agoYour voice laid comfort down uponSongtexteHis European skin.Oh I saw a sunrise like never beforeAs mandolin played I cried for more.Oh I saw a sunrise like never beforeAs mandolin played I cried for more.Oh I saw a sunrise like never beforeAs mandolin played I cried for moreOh Mandolin, oh mandolinWaiting in the darkCenturies passed down uponYour smooth Venetian skin.
