“Madolin Wind” by Rod Stewart appears on his album, Every Picture Tells a Story (1971).
This is a folk story song in the first person, from a man to his wife. Some believe the references in the story are metaphors for the man’s terminal illness and his wife’s loyalty. Whether you take it at face...
Mandolin Wind Lyrics
[Verse 1]
When the rain came I thought you'd leave
'Cause I knew how much you loved the sun
But you chose to stay, stay and keep me warm
Through the darkest nights I've ever known
If the mandolin wind couldn't change a thing
Then I know I love ya
[Verse 2]
Oh, the snow fell without a break
Buffalo died in the frozen fields you know
Through the coldest winter in almost fourteen years
I couldn't believe you kept a smile
Now I can rest assured knowing that we seen the worst
And I know I love ya
[Verse 3]
Oh, I never was good with romantic words
So the next few lines come really hard
Don't have much but what I've got is yours
Except of course my steel guitar
Ha, 'cause I know you don't play
But I'll teach you one day
Because I love ya
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 4]
I recall the night we knelt and prayed
Noticing your face was thin and pale
I found it hard to hide my tears
I felt ashamed, I felt I'd let you down
No mandolin wind couldn't change a thing
Couldn't change a thing, no no
Ooh, ooh, ooh
La-da-da, la-la-da-da-da-da
La-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da
[Outro]
The coldest winter in almost fourteen years
Could never, never change your mind, yeah ooh
And I love ya
Yes indeed, and I love ya
And I love ya
Lordy I love ya, woohoo
And I love ya
Lord, I love ya

Stewart has never answered these questions, but many interpret the lyrics to mean the singer is the one who had a terminal illness.
The song is a work of fiction, written by Stewart, so the answer is in his mind. Despite his critic’s claims, he’s a great songwriter, so that means he’s kept quiet on...
