Mandolin

Oh Mandolin, oh mandolin

Waiting in the dark

Oh Centuries passed down upon

Your smooth and

Asian skin

Memories oh memories

It stays upon your heart

Lovers dance into the trance

You leaved by candlelight

Oh I saw a sunrise like never before

Man in pain,

I cried for more.

Oh Mandolin, oh mandolin

Waiting in the dark

Centuries passed down upon

Your smooth and

Asian skin

Incessant sound, incessant sound serves the young appeal.

Incestuous

I kiss my hand

And play the garden 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.

Man in pain,

I cried for more.

Oh I saw a sunrise like never before

Man in pain,

I cried for more.

Oh I saw a runrise like never before

Man in pain,

I cried for more

Oh Mandolin, oh mandolin

Waiting in the dark

Centuries passed down upon

Your smooth and

Asian skin.
