No. 7 Love Song: Mandolin Wind
Songwriter: 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 Ive 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 couldnt believe you kept a smile.
Now I can rest assured knowing that you've seen the worst
And I know I love you.

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.
'Cause I know you don't play
But I'll teach you one day
Because I love you.

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 couldnt change a thing
Couldn't change a thing no, no.

Coldest winter in almost fourteen years
Could never, never change your mind, yeah.
And I love ya, I love ya. Oh yeah.

Coldest winter in almost fourteen years
Could never, never change my mind, yeah.
Yes indeed and I love ya
And I love ya
Lordy I love ya
