When the rain came,
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 darkest nights I've ever known
If the mandolin wind couldn't
change a thing
And I know I love you
Oh, the snow fell without a break
The buffalo died in the frozen
fields, you know
Through the coldest winter
and almost 14 years
I couldn't believe you cared to smile
And I can rest assured
Knowing that we've seen the worst
And I know I love you
I never was good at romantic words,
so the next few lines come really hard
I don't have much,
but what I've got is yours
Except of course, I still get tired
Cause I know you don't play,
but I'll teach you one day
Because I love you
I recall the night we knelt and prayed
Though to see your face was thin and pale
I felt it hard to hide my tears
I felt ashamed, I felt I'd let you down
The battle of the wind,
couldn't change a thing,
couldn't change a thing, no, no
Coldest winter in almost 14 years,
and you never, never change your mind
Oh, I love you
Yes, I love you, love you, yes, I do
Darling, you know I love you
But I love you, love you, yes,
I do
Hold this rhythm in all those
fourteen years
And you nev er, never changed your mind
But I love you, yes, yes I love you
But I love you, love you,
