D
Well it's time to pay the fiddler
G
And it's sad to know we've danced it all away
A7
But the warm night's disappearing
D
Leaving nothing but the cold hard light of day
And it's time to start erasing
G
All the rainbows we've been chasing in our minds
A7
We know there's no way of making
D
Other ties on us unravel and unwind
Yes it's time to pay the fiddler
G
And today's the day the first installment's due
A7
For the rest of all my days I'll wonder why
D
The maker mismatched me and you
But there's so much to consider like my wife and little children
G
Will need and want my love just like you do
A7
Now it's time to pay the fiddler but before we pay the fiddler
D
Let's ask him to please play one last final tune
Well it's time to pay the fiddler
G
And there's naked sorrow dripping from your eyes
A7
Unrestrained and unashamed we love each other
D
Now we've got to leave it lie
But I can feel my hands trembling
G
As I search to find the handle on the door
A7
So let's let the fiddler pull his magic bow
D
Across our heart strings just once more
