Singing to the mandolin
Over the roadside din
Standing in your kitchen
Singing to the mandolin

Singing to the mandolin
Over the roadside din
Standing in your kitchen
Singing to the mandolin

I saw the kids we once were
In that picture you sent me
Cupping a cig on the fire escape
Reeling a line of laundry

Singing to the mandolin
Over the roadside din
Standing in your kitchen
Singing to the mandolin

Thumbing through The Waste Land
Making eggs to Graceland
Singing to the mandolin
Singing to the mandolin

We put it all in boxes
Singing "Rain, Rain, Go Away"
Chip in the china saucer
See it again another day

Singing to the mandolin
Over the roadside din
Standing in your kitchen
Singing to the mandolin

Another sun rises
Wonder what the prize is
Singing to the mandolin
Singing to the mandolin
