lyrics

When you raise your eyes gaze to the skies
And spy black clouds of rain
Don't be distressed, it's all just in jest
The sun will shine again
The times in your life when your mind is full of strife
Your love and your money are spent
You can dance all alone and it won't even cost a cent

We'll play until the break of day
Until our hands grow sore
And if the fiddler's arm stays strong
We'll cry please play one more
Good times are hard to find it seems
But strings we've plenty of
We'll play until we break them all
Or the sun shines bright above

It's no surprise that in all of our lives
We feel a lot of pain
And though we must fight, to get through the night
The sun will shine again
Let the songs that we sing remind you of spring
After the winter so raw
We'll dance in the fields and watch New Brunswick thaw
