Spandau Ballet - Mandolin

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 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
