Mandolin Lyrics

Oh, mandolin, oh, mandolin
Waiting in the dark
All centuries passed down upon
Your smooth Venetian skinMemories, oh, memories
Lay stains upon your heart
When lovers dance into the trance
You weaved by candlelightOh, I saw a sunrise like never before
As mandolin played I cried for moreOh, mandolin, oh, mandolin
Waiting in the dark
Well, centuries passed down upon
Your smooth Venetian skinIncessant sound, incessant sound
That stirs the young and pure
Incestuous I kiss my hand
And play the calling drumThe lover cried into the silk
Many years ago
Your voice laid comfort down upon
His European skinOh, I saw a sunrise like never before
As mandolin played I cried for moreOh, I saw a sunrise like never before

As mandolin played I cried for moreOh, I saw a sunrise like never before
As mandolin played, oh, I cried for moreMandolin, oh, mandolin
Waiting in the dark
Oh, centuries passed down upon
Your smooth Venetian skin
