Ernest Tubb - It's Time To Pay The Fiddler lyrics

Well it's time to pay the fiddler and it's sad to know we've danced it all away But the one night 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 instalment's due For the rest of all my days I wonder why to make a mismatch me and you But there's so much to consider like my wife and little children 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 and this naked sorrow dripping from your eyes Only stranded and unshamed we've loved each other now we've got to leave it lie But I can feel my hand a trembling as 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...
