He was stranded in some tiny town
On fair Prince Edward Isle
Awaitin for a ship to come and find him
A one-horse place, a friendly face
Some coffee and a tiny trace
Of fiddlin in the distance far behind him
A dime across the counter then
A shy hello, a brand new friend
A walk along the street in the wintry weather
A yellow light, an open door
And a welcome friend, theres room for more
And then theyre standing there inside together
He said Ive heard that tune before somewhere
But I cant remember when
Was it on some other friendly shore
Or did I hear it on the wind
Was it written on the sky above
I think I heard it from someone I loved
But I never heard it sound so sweet since then
Now his feet begin to tap
A little boy says Ill take your hat
Hes caught up in the magic of her smile
And leap the heart inside him went
And off across the floor he sent
His clumsy body graceful as a child
He said theres magic in the fiddlers arm
Theres magic in this town
Theres magic in the dancers feet
And the way they put them down
People smilin everywhere
Boots and ribbons, locks of hair
And laughter and old blue suits and easter gowns
Now the sailors gone, the room is bare
The old piano settin there
Someones hats left hanging on the rack
And empty chairs, the wooden floor
That feels the touch of shoes no more
Awaitin for the dancers to come back
And the fiddles in the closet
Of some daughter of the town
The strings are broke and the bow is gone
And the covers buttoned down
But sometimes on December nights
When the air is cold and the wind is right
Theres a melody that passes through this town
