about

This song is like a prayer of thanks for someone who came and helped when you were a bit lost.

lyrics

Play the Mandolin by Michael Baldwin

You came to me, when I was looking for another.
You came to me, when I was looking for my love.

You came to me, when I was looking for my mother.
You came to me, when I was staring up above.

You came to me, when I was looking for my father.
You came to me, when I was searching for my glove.

You came to me,
when I was looking for a signal at sea,
when I was looking for an end to my grief,
when I was looking for a home.

I came to you, in the middle of a bad dream.
I came to you, when I couldn't find my way.

I came to you, when I couldn’t find the light switch.
I came to you, when I was feeling for the door.

I held your hand, as you led me in the darkness.
I held your hand, and then the night became the day.

We found a love,
that will always be a light in the dark,
a shining incandescent glittering spark,
so we can set the world on fire.

So won’t you
Take me in your arms
And sing a song with me
Hold me close and teach me how
To play the mandolin
