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 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 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 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" 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 So I tell my dream to go to hell and never tease 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 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 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 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 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 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 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
