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
