I sit on these steps With my old Mandolin And I lay my song In the arms of the wind And it drifts over the hills And the valleys to find A way to the heart Of the true love of mine CHORUS And I'd sing you back home if I could If these words had wings Heaven knows that I would I'd reach in my heart for an old melody And I'd sing you back home to me They say the chane of true love Comes but once in a life time And if thats is the truth I guess I've had mine As the silvery moon Sails on through the clouds The beams sadly fall On this lonely old house CHORUS
