Mandolin Wind
Embracing Love Through Mandolin Winds
Lyrics
When the rain came I thought you'd leave
Expressing surprise that the person did not leave when faced with difficulties (rain).
'Cause I knew how much you loved the sun
Anticipating departure because of the assumption that the person prefers sunny times.
But you chose to stay, stay and keep me warm
Gratitude for choosing to stay and provide warmth during challenging times.
Through the darkest nights I've ever known
Acknowledging the emotional difficulty of the darkest nights experienced together.
If the mandolin wind couldn't change a thing
Contemplating the limited impact of external forces (mandolin wind) on their relationship.
Then I know I love ya
Affirming love despite challenges and external influences.
Oh the snow fell without a break
Describing persistent snowfall and the harsh conditions faced together.
Buffalo died in the frozen fields you know
Highlighting the impact of the harsh winter on nature (Buffalo died).
Through the coldest winter in almost fourteen years
Emphasizing the severity of the winter endured, adding to the challenges faced.
I couldn't believe you kept a smile
Expressing surprise and admiration for the partner's ability to maintain a positive attitude.
Now I can rest assured knowing that we've seen the worst
Feeling reassured that they have overcome the worst times together.
And I know I love ya
Reiterating love despite challenges faced and conquered.
Oh I never was good with romantic words
Admitting difficulty expressing romantic feelings verbally.
So the next few lines come really hard
Acknowledging the challenge of expressing emotions through words.
Don't have much but what I've got is yours
Offering what little they have, emphasizing commitment and generosity.
Except of course my steel guitar
Except for the steel guitar, a humorous note about possessions and their willingness to share.
Ha, 'cause I know you don't play
Recognizing the partner's lack of interest in playing the steel guitar.
But I'll teach you one day
Expressing a willingness to teach the partner to play the steel guitar in the future.
Because I love ya
Reaffirming love and commitment despite differences.
I recall the night we knelt and prayed
Recalling a moment of prayer and noticing the partner's fragile appearance.
Noticing your face was thin and pale
Expressing concern and empathy for the partner's physical state.
I found it hard to hide my tears
Feeling a sense of guilt and shame for not being able to prevent the partner's suffering.
I felt ashamed I felt I'd let you down
Expressing emotional vulnerability and regret for perceived shortcomings.
No mandolin wind couldn't change a thing
Reiterating the limited impact of external forces (mandolin wind) on their situation.
Couldn't change a thing no, no
Emphasizing that external factors cannot change their relationship.
The coldest winter in almost fourteen years
Reiterating the severity of the winter endured together.
Could never, never change your mind
Asserting that even the harsh winter conditions couldn't alter the partner's commitment.
And I love ya
Affirming love unequivocally.
Yes indeed and I love ya
Repeating the declaration of love for emphasis.
And I love ya
Continuing to express deep love and devotion.
Lord I love ya
Further emphasizing the strength and depth of love.
And I love ya
Repeating the declaration of love.
And I love ya
Concluding with a reaffirmation of love.
