The song came and went Like the times that we spent Hiding out from the rain under the carnival tent I laughed and she'd smile It would last for awhile You don't know what you got Till you lose it all again Listen to the mandolin rain Listen to the music on the lake Listen to my heart break every time she runs away Listen to the banjo wind a sad song drifting low Listen to the tears flow Down my face as she turns to go A cool evening wind Lstening the blue grass band takes the chill From the air till they play the last song I'll do my time Keeping you off my mind But there's moments that I find I'm not feeling so strong Listen to the mandolin rain Listen to the music on the lake Listen to my heart break every time she runs away Listen to the banjo wind a sad song drifting low Listen to the tears flow Down my face as she turns to go Running down by the lakeshore She did love the sound of a summer storm It played on the lake like a mandolin Now it's washing her away once again Listen to the mandolin rain Listen to the music on the lake Listen to my heart break every time she runs away Listen to the banjo wind a sad song drifting low Listen to the tears flow Down my face as she turns to go The boat's steaming in I watched the sidewheel spin and I think about her when I hear that whistle blow I can't change my mind I knew all the time she'd go But that's a choice I made long ago Listen to the mandolin rain Listen to the music on the lake Listen to my heart break every time she runs away Listen to the banjo wind a sad song drifting low Listen to the tears flow Down my face as she turns to go 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 Listen to the mandolin rain...

“Mandolin Rain” ocupa a terceira posição na trilha sonora do álbum de estreia “The Way It Is”, lançado pela Bruce Hornsby & The Range.
A canção foi co‑escrita por Bruce Hornsby junto ao irmão John Hornsby, refletindo uma colaboração familiar na composição.
O instrumentista David Mansfield, integrante do grupo, executa a parte de mandolin, conferindo à faixa seu nome característico.
Na época de sua divulgação, a revista Cashbox descreveu “Mandolin Rain” como uma “inspired song” com “emotional acoustic‑flavored production”, antecipando que a música poderia alcançar o mesmo sucesso comercial do single “The Way It Is”.
A crítica da Cashbox evidenciou a expectativa de que a faixa se tornaria um marco no estilo musical da banda, marcando o início de sua presença na cena pop/rock brasileira.
