Mandolins Fly by Niall James Holohan Lyrics
Is it true that mandolin's fly for you?
I have heard that you have no time
But that's strange and I wonder
For those in their own eyes wise
You are true to your word, they say
But we've just met and I don't know you from Adam or Eve
Joan of Arc, Socrates and Aladdin
Let them retrace their foolish steps alone
I think we might have something here worth keeping
It's not for me to judge myself
And you know things get a little undignified
When you jump in at the deep end
Is it true that you have no faith
When you're fascinated by women in all of their guises
From chaperones to flights
You angels I knew
Were no Miriam, Thai butterfly or Isis
I was taught when our day be taken away
Our night will come to come between us
You're welcome to leave
It's not that I don't want to believe
But it's true that I havn't yet decided
Yes, your companion, heading out across the fields
To be honest and unmerciful, I met
Singing "Hallelujah U.I.A" on up the hill
Mandolin's flew and you say you've nothing to do
But you will
I have heard that you have no time
But that's strange and I wonder
For those in their own eyes wise
You are true to your word, they say
But we've just met and I don't know you from Adam or Eve
Joan of Arc, Socrates and Aladdin
Let them retrace their foolish steps alone
I think we might have something here worth keeping
It's not for me to judge myself
And you know things get a little undignified
When you jump in at the deep end
Is it true that you have no faith
When you're fascinated by women in all of their guises
From chaperones to flights
You angels I knew
Were no Miriam, Thai butterfly or Isis
I was taught when our day be taken away
Our night will come to come between us
You're welcome to leave
It's not that I don't want to believe
But it's true that I havn't yet decided
Yes, your companion, heading out across the fields
To be honest and unmerciful, I met
Singing "Hallelujah U.I.A" on up the hill
Mandolin's flew and you say you've nothing to do
But you will
