It's Time To Pay The Fiddler

Well it's time to pay the fiddler

And it's sad to know we've danced it all away

But the warm night's disappearing

Leaving nothing but the cold hard light of day

And it's time to start erasing

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 installment's due

For the rest of all my days I'll wonder why

The maker mismatched 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 ask him to please play one last final tune

Well it's time to pay the fiddler

And there's naked sorrow dripping from your eyes

Unrestrained and unashamed we love each other

Now we've got to leave it lie

But I can feel my hands trembling

As I search to find the handle on the door

So let's let the fiddler pull his magic bow

Across our heart strings just once more
