Cal Smith - It\'s Time to Pay the Fiddler lyrics

rate me

<br>

Well it's time to pay the fiddler<br>

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

But the warm night's disappearing<br>

Leaving nothing but the cold hard light of day<br>

<br>

And it's time to start erasing<br>

All the rainbows we've been chasing in our minds<br>

We know there's no way of making<br>

Other ties on us unravel and unwind<br>

<br>

Yes it's time to pay the fiddler<br>

And today's the day the first installment's due<br>

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

The maker mismatched me and you<br>

<br>

But there's so much to consider like my wife and little children<br>

Will need and want my love just like you do<br>

Now it's time to pay the fiddler but before we pay the fiddler<br>

Let's ask him to please play one last final tune <br>

<br>

Well it's time to pay the fiddler<br>

And there's naked sorrow dripping from your eyes<br>

Unrestrained and unashamed we love each other<br>

Now we've got to leave it lie<br>

<br>

But I can feel my hands trembling<br>

As I search to find the handle on the door<br>

So let's let the fiddler pull his magic bow<br>

Across our heart strings just once more<br>

<br>
