Mandolin Wind — текст песни (Stewart Rod)

(Rod Stewart)
When the rain came I thought you`d leave
`cause I knew how much you loved the sun
But you chose to stay, stay and keep me warm
through the darkest nights I`ve ever known
If the mandolin wind couldn`t change a thing
then I know I love ya
Oh the snow fell without a break
Buffalo died in the frozen fields you know
Through the coldest winter in almost fourteen years
I couldn`t believe you kept a smile
Now I can rest assured knowing that we`ve seen the worst
And I know I love ya
Oh I never was good with romantic words
so the next few lines come really hard
Don`t have much but what I`ve got is yours
except of course my steel guitar
Ha, `cause I know you don`t play
but I`ll teach you one day
because I love ya
I recall the night we knelt and prayed
Noticing your face was thin and pale
I found it hard to hide my tears
I felt ashamed I felt I`d let you down
No mandolin wind couldn`t change a thing
Couldn`t change a thing no, no
The coldest winter in almost fourteen years
could never, never change your mind
And I love ya
Yes indeed and I love ya
And I love ya
Lordy I love ya
