lirik lagu colum sands - sweeney the fiddler

[verse 1]
i walked the length of hill street, but no hill could i see
time levels out the great and small in a game it plays with glee
but somewhere in the distance, i heard a fiddle call
and i thought about frank sweeney, the man who taught us all

[verse 2]
frank loved to play the fiddle, he knew that from the start
but the chemist’s shop he ran as well it nearly broke his heart
and when a tune came to his head, he’d take the fiddle down
and customers above themselves were soon brought to the ground

[verse 3]
his place was near the p~wnshop where dreams are bought and sold
frank traded in a different coin from the heart to the common cold
from bunions, corns and chilblains to the pimple on the crown
but the cure that sweeney favoured most was to take the fiddle down

[chorus]
and of all the shops in newry, did you have to come to mine?
can’t you see i’m playing the fiddle and i haven’t got the time
for trying to read prescriptions for ills you haven’t got
and time will cure you anyway, sure the dogs in the street know that
and time will cure you anyway, sure the dogs in the street know that
[verse 4]
magic bottles lined the shelves, the blue, the green, the brown
when sun came through the window the light would play around
and through the door the fiddlers came as word got ’round the town
and the music flowed like medicine as the bows went up and down

[instrumental break]
closed for lunch now

[verse 5]
now plastic bottles line the shelves, the coloured glass is gone
the fiddler sleeps, but memory keeps a tune that lingers on
and somewhere deep inside the heart it’s waiting for the call
frank found a way to play his tune and so he taught us all
