Singing to the Mandolin

Singing to the mandolin

Over the roadside din

Standing in your kitchen

Singing to the mandolin

Singing to the mandolin

Over the roadside din

Standing in your kitchen

Singing to the mandolin

I saw the kids we once were in that picture you sent me

Cupping a cig on the fire escape, reeling a line of laundry

Singing to the mandolin

Over the roadside din

Standing in your kitchen

Singing to the mandolin

Thumbing through The Waste Land

Making eggs to Graceland

Singing to the mandolin

Singing to the mandolin

Mmm, mmm, mmm

Mmm, mmm

Mmm, mmm, mmm

Mmm

We put it all in boxes, singing "Rain, Rain, Go Away"

Chip in the china saucer, see it again another day

Singing to the mandolin

Over the roadside din

Standing in your kitchen

Singing to the mandolin

Another sun rises

Wonder what the prize is

Singing to the mandolin

Singing to the mandolin

Mmm, mmm, mmm

Mmm, mmm

Mmm, mmm, mmm

Mmm

Mmm, mmm, mmm

Mmm, mmm

Mmm, mmm, mmm

Mmm
