Mandolin Lyrics

Oh, mandolin, oh, mandolin
Waiting in the dark
All centuries pa*sed down upon
Your smooth Venetian skin

Memories, oh, memories
Lay stains upon your heart
When 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
Well, centuries pa*sed 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, oh, I cried for more

Mandolin, oh, mandolin
Waiting in the dark
Oh, centuries pa*sed down upon
Your smooth Venetian skin
