Once the Fiddler Paid - The Disco Biscuits

Summer Sunny day, once the wind blew warm

And the light circled round the sun I saw like a crown

You could feel it in the air, like a not so distant storm

And the silent pause in the wind it seemed

Left a magical sound

But now she’s gone & I vowed to miss her

Days that we spent starry eyed run deep within my soul

And now she’s gone & I can’t dismiss her

Nor can I forget the man who sent me down below

Summer sunny day, once the wind blew cold

And the world had seen a better day all around

My life was ripped away, my business torn & sold

And I found myself in this cell I live

With a clamouring sound

But now she’s gone & I vowed to miss her

Days that we spent starry eyed run deep within my soul

And now she’s gone & I can’t dismiss her

Nor can I forget the man who sent me down below

Summer sunny day, once the wind blew thorns

And the world had seen a better day all around

You could feel it in the air, like a not so distant storm

And the days once lost but still recalled can be found

Once the fiddler paid, but once was not enough

Was all who cornered his misfortune yelled

The fiddler took the blame, the crowd had called his bluff

When all was lost the verdict came to the silence of the crowd

But now she’s gone & I vowed to miss her

Days that we spent starry eyed run deep within my soul

And now she’s gone & I can’t dismiss her

Nor can I forget the man who sent me down below
