When the rain came, I thought you´d leave,´cause I knew how much you loved the sun. But you chose to stay.Stay and keep me warm through the darknest nights, I´ve ever known. If the mandolin wind couldn´t change a thing, then I know I love ya. On the snow fell without a break. Buffalo died in the frozen fields, you know, through the coldest winter in almost fourteen years. I couldn´t believe you kept a smile. Now I can rest assured knowing that we´ve seen the worst. And I know I love ya. Oh, I never was good with romantic words, so the next few lines come really hard . Don´t have much, but what I´ve got is yours, except, of course, my steel guitar. Ha, ´cause I know you don´t play, but I´ll teach you one day, because I love ya. I recall the night we knelt and prayed, noticing your face was thin and pale. I found it hard to hide my tears. I felt ashamed. I felt I´d let you down. No mandolin wind couldn´t change a thing, couldn´t change a thing, no, no. The coldest winter in almost fourteen years, could never, never change your mind. And I love ya. Yes indeed, and I love ya. And I love ya. Lordy I love ya.

( Lyrics : Rod Stewart, "Mandolin Wind" )

Winter rest with a warm thing. Thought, believe, and you´ll see it.
