Fiddler's Green (There's More Than One)

(album: Black Sheep - 1993)

Once there was a time when I could name my fears and wishes
Once there was a time when all the world seemed but a game
I hit the stage and thought let's go and seek tomorrow
I was so sure that the best was yet to come

Fiddler's Green is a place I heard tell
Where the fishermen go if they don't go to hell
The skies are all clear and the dolphins do play
And the cold coast of Greenland is far away

But this was only the first part of the journey
This was the time when we set out for Fiddler's Green
And since that time there is no rest for the wicked
There ain't no rest until there's nothing to be seen

Fiddler's Green is a place I heard tell
Where the fishermen go if they don't go to hell
The skies are all clear and the dolphins do play
And the cold coast of Greenland is far away

There are two voices always shouting in my silence
Voice number one, the evil Tempter of my peace
He keeps on telling me, "Don't you want to be more than nobody?!"
The other one lures, "Just get a wife and watch TV"

Fiddler's Green is a place I heard tell
Where the fishermen go if they don't go to hell
The skies are all clear and the dolphins do play
And the cold coast of Greenland is far away

So I tell my dream to go to hell and never tease me
So I tell my dream to stand by me and hold me tight
So I try to see a little more but all these shadows
The more that I see the more I feel I'm almost blind

And sometimes I wonder where we go
Sometimes I wonder where we've been

Fiddler's Green is a place I heard tell
Where the fishermen go if they don't go to hell
The skies are all clear and the dolphins do play
And the cold coast of Greenland is far away

We've had enough but yet we feel that we're still starving
We're longing for something that won't show its lovely face
And when we grab it we find out that it's gone forever
It faded away without a single little trace

And sometimes I wonder where we go
We've lost our way to Fiddler's Green

Fiddler's Green is a place I heard tell
Where the fishermen go if they don't go to hell
The skies are all clear and the dolphins do play
And the cold coast of Greenland is far away

Fiddler's Green is a place I heard tell
Where the fishermen go if they don't go to hell
The skies are all clear and the dolphins do play
And the cold coast of Greenland is far away

Fiddler's Green is a place I heard tell
Where the fishermen go if they don't go to hell
The skies are all clear and the dolphins do play
And the cold coast of Greenland is far away

Fiddler's Green is a place I heard tell
Where the fishermen go if they don't go to hell
The skies are all clear and the dolphins do play
And the cold coast of Greenland is far away
