I was scuffling hard and drinking a downer on Lough Ree
Digging graves or busking made no difference to me
Month to month and week to week from hand to mouth I ran
A million miles a minute a stubborn foolish man
I took a walk round Green Street to kill the morning chill
She was selling stones and brandy with a finger in the till
A double shot to hold me a stranger in the wind
If I ever thought I'd know her sure I'll never know again
She was cruel and she was kind
Till she made me lose my mind
We've got better days ahead and many more where they came from
Don't chase them all away my friend until your heart goes numb
It's a long hard road they say but with a fiddler on the way
I will swear by better days
The world is flat where I come from
We've got no place to hide
No bridge across the ocean
To reach those suns that died
They said she's living on the coast a baby on the way
The winter world outside the door just south of Galway Bay
I never bought that fishing boat my second best laid plan
She must have known my penance was a scam
She was cruel and she was kind
Until she made me lose my mind
We've got better days ahead and many more where they came from
Don't chase them all away my friend until your heart goes numb
It's a long hard road they say but with a fiddler on the way
I will swear by better days
With a fiddler on the way
I will swear by better days
