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
