Oh Mandolin, oh mandolin
Waiting in the dark
Centuries passed down upon your smooth Venetian skin
Memories, oh memories
Stains upon your heart
Lovers dance into the trance you weaved by candlelight
Oh I saw a sunrise like never before
As mandolin played, I cried for more
Oh Mandolin, oh mandolin
Waiting in the dark
For centuries passed down upon your smooth Venetian skin
Incessant sound, incessant sound
That stirs the young and pure
Incestuous, I kiss my hand and play the calling drum
The lover cried into the silk
Many years ago
Your voice laid comfort down upon his European skin
Oh I saw a sunrise like never before
As mandolin played, I cried for more
Oh I saw a sunrise like never before
As mandolin played, I cried for more
Oh I saw a sunrise like never before
As mandolin played, I cried for more
Mandolin, oh mandolin
Waiting in the dark
For centuries passed down upon your smooth Venetian skin
