Well it's time to pay the fiddler and it's sad to know we've danced it all away
|
But the one night disappearing leaving nothing but the cold hard light of day
|
And it's time to start erasin' all the rainbows we've been chasing in our minds
|
We know there's no way of making other ties on us unravel and unwind
|
Yes it's time to pay the fiddler and today's the day the first instalment's due
|
For the rest of all my days I wonder why to make a mismatch me and you
|
But there's so much to consider like my wife and little children
|
Will need and want my love just like you do
|
Now it's time to pay the fiddler but before we pay the fiddler
|
Let's say to him please play one last final tune
|
|
Well it's time to pay the fiddler and this naked sorrow dripping from your eyes
|
Only stranded and unshamed we've loved each other now we've got to leave it lie
|
But I can feel my hand a trembling as I search to find a handle on the door
|
So let's let the fiddler pull his magic bow across our heart strings just once more
|
Yes it's time to pay the fiddler...
