Lying on my bed, a lazy afternoon
Nothing’s on the radio, dozed away soon
A distant music in the silence made want to me smile
Made me want to laugh for a longer little while
It’s not just the music, there’s story in it
Is it mine or is it yours, or just on love is it?
It plucks on slowly at me, makes me want to cry
Makes me want to laugh again, and makes me want to try
Mandolin Man
Where did you come from, where will you go
Mandolin Man
What is your secret, I want to know
Mandolin Man
You stole my heart now, with just a few notes
Mandolin Man
I sing along with you as my heart floats
Singing along with you, singing the same tune
Lost my senses, come now dance under the moon
What a lovely sunflower, what a pretty rose!
How come I never sat by and watched when the sun rose
Singing along with you, I forgot everything
A traveler can’t stay just for a pretty thing
Even if the love is strong, and the music says it all
You have to go I know, yet the heart will take a fall
Mandolin Man
I’ll think of you every day, and your lovely song
Mandolin Man
All things you said and heard, my heart will long
Mandolin Man
It’s true I love you, I love you so
Mandolin Man
For one last time I say, please don’t go
I recently bumped into a song called The Mandolin Man and His Secret by Donovan. The title sounded lovely, like an old epic love song. I was very disappointed when I heard it (and read it). Yet it inspired me to try my own hand (and my own voice) at it. Here is what I got. No, there is no audio clip. May be a month later, I would feel like it to record.
