"The Man in the Roof"

Hey everyone, can you see the man
Alone in the roof of the fiddler
He swings his bow and along he goes
'Til the sun shines over the river

Alone was he when he was young
Still you see him sing his tunes
Yet the fiddler turned down his solemn words
On the dusky red sand dunes

But the man in the roof still un-give up
For the fiddler to change her reasons
So he decided to stay ontop and said
"Til time pass by on seasons!"

Clocks then tick twelve past nine, so where
Did the man ontop had gone?
'Tis the fiddler then felt guilt and doubt
To where her lover's gone

The fiddler then found little trace
Of the man who stayed on top
She found he broke his promise and went
To the roof of another shop!

So everyone, can you see the man
Alone in the roof of the barber
He swings his bow and along he goes
'Til the sun shines over the river
