the tragically hip - fiddlers green

september seventeen for a girl i know, it's mother's day her son has gone alee and that's where he will stay wind on the
weathervane tearing blue eyes sailor-mean as falstaff sings a sorrowful refrain for a boy in fiddler's green

his tiny knotted heart well i guess it never worked too good the timber tore apart and the water gorged the wood you can hear
her whispered prayer for men at masts that always lean that the same wind that moves her hair moves her boy through fiddler's
green

he doesn't know a soul and there's nowhere that he's really been but he won't travel long alone no, not in fiddler's green
balloons all filled with rain as children's eyes turn sleepy-mean and falstaff sings a sorrowful refrain for a boy in fiddler's green

My Son's little parrot Jambeard was humanely euthanized on Sept 17/10. The last thing I asked the little guy was to please tell my Son, who died at 14 on Jan23/08, that I loved him.An hour later I heard this amazing song on the radio and got the refeference of a boy' passing. I got the title and that night played it over & over. Feeling a deep connection, I went toa lyrics site where an ad had a little parrot fly across the lyrics to Fiddlers Green and knew Little Jambeard found his way there

@zinnia131 That's honestly one of the touching stories I've read on YouTube. Sorry for your loss, but it's comforting to know he's up there looking down smiling with pride at the fact you've stayed so strong during such a rough time.

This is the first time I have ever heard this tune and think it says a lot to so many people living in Canada and abroad.
