It's time to pay the fiddler But before we pay the fiddler Let's ask him to play one last final tune. Well, it's time to pay the fiddler And it's sad to know we've danced it all away But the warm nights disappearing Leaving nothing but the cold hard light of day. And it's time to start erasin' 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 wonder why the maker mismatched me and you. There's so much to consider Like my wife and little children Who need and want my love like you do. It's time to pay the fiddler But before we pay the fiddler Let's ask him to play one last final tune. It's time to pay the fiddler But before we pay the fiddler Let's ask him to play one last final tune...
