Mandolin

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
