Lyrics to "Listen to the Veteran Rain"?
I will give a whopping ten points to anyone who can identify the song that I am talking about. It is an easy listening song, may be classified as soft or classic rock. The lyrics (at least the ones that I know) are "listen to the veteran rain, listen to the cold hard night"? I have no idea if those are the actual words or not, but someone please help me. I know I've heard the song in one, maybe more, movies, but I can't find this song anywhere. I have Yahoo!ed it and Googled it and nothing. So Please...PLEASE help me out!!! "Listen to the Veteran Rain" may not actually be the title either.
Thanks in advance!

Mandolin Rain by Bruce Hornsby
The song came and went
Like the times that we spent
Hiding out from the rain under the carnival tent
I laughed and shed smile
It would last for awhile
You dont 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 roll
Down my face as she turns to go
A cool evening dance
Listening to the bluegrass band takes the chill
>from the air till they play the last song
Ill do my time
Keeping you off my mind but theres moments
That I find, Im 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 roll
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 its washing her away 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 roll
Down my face as she turns to go
The boats steaming in
I watch the sidewheel spin and i
Think about her when I hear that whistle blow
I cant change my mind
I knew all the time that shed go
But thats 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 roll
Down my face as she turns to go

Is this the song you are talking about?
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've got
Till you lose it all again
Listen to the mandolin rain
Listen to the music on the lake
Ah, listen to my heart break
Every time she runs away
Listen to the banjo wind
A sad song drifting low
Listen to the tears roll
Down my face as she turns to go
Cool evening dance
Listen to the bluegrass band
Takes the chill from the air
Until they play the last song
I'll do my time,
Oh, 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
Ah, listen to my heart break
Every time she runs away
Listen to the banjo wind
A sad song drifting low
Listen to the tears roll
Down my face as she turns to go
Runnin' down by the lake shore
She did lovethe sound of a summer storm
Played on the lake like a mandolin
Now it's washing her away, once again
Whoa, again
Boats steaming in
Oh, watch the side wheels spin
And I think about her when
I hear that whistle blow
I can't change my mind
Oh, I knew all the time
That she'd go
But that's a choice I made long ago
Listen to the mandolin rain
Listen to the music on the lake
Ah listen to my heart break
Every time she runs away
Listen to the banjo wind
A sad song drifting low
Listen to the tears roll
Down my face as she turns to go
As she turns to go
Listen to the, listen to the mandolin rain
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
