The Piper Came Today

The dance is over now

As the melody just echoes in the night

Of the love song that I sang, out of tune

To a drummer, out of time

I tripped the light fantastic

And never hearing harmonies were lost

And now I sit alone, in the silence

Looking at the cost

'Cause the piper came today

He was hell to pay

Cause he took my world away

When the piper came today

In the shadows of the dim light

As the piper plays, the cheaters hide

Never giving thought

To the cost, of the never-ending lies

And the sweater played his music

The more is added to the bitter price

For the dance is over now

And the melody just echoes in the night

'Cause the piper came today

He was hell to pay

'Cause he took my world away

When the piper came today

'Cause he took my world away

When the piper came today.
