Lyrics: It's Time To Pay The Fiddler

Well it's time to pay the fiddler
And it's sad to know we've danced it all away
But the one night's disappearing
Leaving nothin' 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 thirsty someones do
For the rest of all my days I wonder
Why the maker mismatched me and you

But there's so much to consider like my man and little baby
Will need and want my love just like you do
Now it's time to pay the fiddler but before we pay the fiddler
Let's say to him please play one last final tune

Well it's time to pay the fiddler now
There's naked sorrow drippin' from my eyes
On'ry stranded and unshamed we've loved each other
Now we've got to leave it lie

But I can feel my hands a trembling
And I search to find a handle on the door
So let's let the fiddler pull his magic bow
Across our heart strings just once more

Yes it's time to pay the fiddler
And today's the day the thirsty someones do
For the rest of all my days I wonder
Why the maker mismatched me and you
