It's Time to Pay the Fiddler

(Don Wayne - Walter Haynes)



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...
