Fiddlers Green - Fiddler's Green (There's More Than One) lyrics

rate me

Once there was a time when I could name my fears and wishes

Once there was a time when all the world seemed but a game

I hit the stage and thought let's go and seek tomorrow

I was so sure that the best was yet to come

[Chorus]

Fiddler's Green is a place I heard tell

Where the fishermen go if they don't go to hell

The skies are all clear and the dolphins do play

And the cold coast of Greenland is far away

But this was only the first part of the journey

This was the time when we set out for Fiddler's Green

And since that time there is no rest for the wicked

There ain't no rest until there's nothing to be seen

[Chorus]

There are two voices always shouting in my silence

Voice number one: the evil Tempter of my peace

He keeps on tellin me: "Don't you want to be more than nobody?!"

The other one lures: "Just get a wife and watch TV"

[Chorus]

So I tell my dream to go to hell and never lease me

So I tell my dream to stand by me and hold me tight

So I try to see a little more but all these shadows

The more that I see the more I feel I'm almost blind

And sometimes I wonder where we go

Sometimes I wonder where we've been

[Chorus]

We've had enough but yet we feel that we're still starving

We're longing for something that won't show its lovely face

And when we grab it we find out that it's gone forever

It faded away without a single little trace

And sometimes I wonder where we go

We've lost our way to Fiddler's Green

[Chorus]
