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