� The storm came and went Like the times that we spent Hiding out from the rain Under the content Laughed and she'd smile It would last for a while You don't know what you got Till you lose it all again Listen to the melody Listen to the music on the rain Oh, listen to my heartbreak Every time she runs away Oh, listen to the banjo wind The sad song driftin' low Listen to the tears fall Down my face as she turns to go Ooh, the evening dance Listen to the bluegrass band Takes the chill from the air Until they play the last song I'll do my time Oh, keeping you off my mind But there's moments that I find I'm not feeling so strong Listen to the melody Listen to the music on the rain Oh, listen to my heartbreak Every time she runs away Oh, listen to the banjo wind The sad song driftin' low Listen to the tears fall Down my face as she turns to go Running down by the lake shore She didn't love the sound Of the summer storm Laid on the lake like a mandolin Now it's washing her away Once again Oh, again Oh-oh-oh-oh Yeah-ah-ah-ah-ah Oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh Oh, it's steamin' in Oh, watch the side wheels spin And I think about her When I hear that whistle blow I can't change my mind Oh, I knew all the time That she'd go But that's a choice I made in love Oh-oh-oh-oh Listen to the melody Listen to the music on the rain Oh, listen to my heartbreak Every time she runs away Oh, listen to the banjo wind The sad song driftin' low Listen to the tears roll Down my face as she turns to go As she turns to go Listen to the whistle And the melody Oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh Listen to the tears roll Down my face as she turns to go Listen to the tears roll Down my face as she turns to go Oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh Listen to the mandolin ring Oh-oh-oh-oh
