Willie Nelson - The Piper Came Today lyrics

The dance is over now As the melody just echoes in the night Of the love song that I sang, out of tune To a drummer, out of time I tripped the light fantastic And never hearing harmonies were lost And now I sit alone, in the silence Looking at the cost Cause the piper came today And he was hell to pay Cause he took my world away When the piper came today In the shadows of the dim light As the piper plays, the cheaters hide Never giving thought To the cost, of the never-ending lies And the sweater played his music The more is added to the bitter price For the dance is over now And the melody just echoes in the night Cause the piper came today And he was hell to pay Cause he took my world away When the piper came today Cause he took my world away When the piper came today
