It’s Time to Pay the Fiddler

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 rеst of all my days
I wonder why the maker mismatchеd 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
