The song came 

    
and went,
            
like the times

         
 that we spent

,
             
hiding out fro

             
m the rain und

             
er the carniva

      
l tent
            
Happen she d s

mile,
            
it would last 

     
for awhile,
             
you don't know

             
 what you got,

             
 till you lose

            
 it all again
 
             
Listen to the 

                             
mandolin rain,

music on the l

o 
 
             
A cool evening

 
 dance,
            
listening to t

             
he bluegrass b

              
and takes the 


chill
             
from the air, 

             
till they play

                  
 the last song
          
I'll do my tim
