September 17th
For a girl I know it's Mother's Day
Her son is gonna leave, yeah
And that's where he will stay
Wind on the weather vane
Tearing blue eyes sailing me
As five stars sings the sorrow for a friend
For a boy in fiddler's green
It's tiny, not it hot
Well, I guess it never worked too good
The timber tore apart
And the water gorged the wood
You can hear his whispered prayer
For men at best that always lean
The same wind that moves the hair
Moves the boy through Fiddler's Green
Ah, nothing's changed anyway
Ah, nothing's changed anyway
On anything today
He doesn't know a soul
There's nowhere else he's really been
But he won't travel long alone
No, not in Fiddler's Green
Balloons are filled with rain As children's eyes turn sleepy me
And Faust I sings a sorrowful refrain For a boy in fiddler's green
