Lyrics

“Mandolin”
Ken Raba

Sitting in this café I remember hearing myself say
As I watched you play your mandolin

You would be mine it would just be a matter of time
Like me you would find yourself falling in

Without hesitation I started a conversation
And I saw anticipation in your eyes

Was it this week that gave you too much time to think
Or did we both have too much to drink either way I’m surprised

By the note you sent today you’re a180 degrees away
From what you had to say Thursday night

Chorus:
Santé Fes so far away from Austin
Playing hard to get girl is only gonna cost us
I know you know you could be with me,
If you wanna

I’m not a fence, built to hold you in
With sharp points to convince you to stay

You’re a tumbleweed made a lot like me
With a singing heart and hands that need to play

On the road to anywhere might mean you’re running scared and standing still it could be fair to say

Is moving faster than lightning or any train can
So stop and take a chance with me

What do you think girl could be the best of both worlds Free as a breeze with sails unfurled look and you’ll see

Chorus:
Santé Fes so far away from Austin
Playing hard to get girl is only gonna cost us
I know you know you could be with me,
If you wanna

Extro
Sitting in this café I remember hearing myself say
As I watched you play your mandolin
