Lyrics

[Verse 1] Mandolin, oh mandolin Waiting in the dark Centuries passed down upon Your smooth Venetian skin [Verse 2] Memories, oh memories Lay stains upon your heart When lovers dance into the trance You weaved by candlelight [Chorus] Oh, I saw a sunrise like never before As a mandolin played, I cried for more [Verse 1] Mandolin, oh mandolin Waiting in the dark Centuries passed down upon Your smooth Venetian skin [Verse 3] Incessant sound, incessant sound That stirs the young and pure Incestuous I kiss my hand And play the calling drum [Verse 4] The lover cried into the silk Many years ago Your voice laid comfort down upon His European skin [Chorus] Oh, I saw a sunrise like never before As a mandolin played, I cried for more [Chorus] I saw a sunrise like never before As a mandolin played, I cried for more [Chorus] Oh, I saw a sunrise like never before As a mandolin played, I cried for more [Verse 1] Mandolin, oh mandolin Waiting in the dark Centuries passed down upon Your smooth Venetian skin
