well i think this song has four different point of views, the girl the fiddler/reaper, the boy, and an omnicient point of view. the first verse i think is an omnescient point of view, describing how the girl went out on her own, and her parents calling for her. the second verse has 2 different point of views, the lines '
Wasn't there a dream last night
Like a spring never ending
Still the water runs clear
Through my mind
On the field I can see a fiddler
The fiddler on the green and the sad boy'
that is the little girls point of view, and the lines,
I took him too early
Would you mind
Would you mind
Would you mind
If I take you
is the fiddlers aka reapers point of view, and when it repeats 'to be with you' over and over, i think that is the little boys point of view. and the lines,
The sun seemed bright
The air was clear
The air was clear
A trick of light
Turned red into green
She saw the light
Her face was pale
Her body smashed
Her beauty's gone
Isn't it a shame
The reaper said
He is quite alone here
And still waiting for you
Oh I really did fail for the first time
Spoke the fiddler, poor old fiddler
The fiddler on the green
The fiddler on the green
is the omnicient again, and the final lines
It would be nice:
Take my hand
Just hold my hand
I'll take you there
Your pain will go away
i think the reason he said it would be nice, is because the girl is in immense pain, but not dead, and it would be nice if she joined the boy, and i think shes crossing the street, because, i dont think that she would be old enough to drive because of the very first lines with her parents and what not, and...yeah, i think everybody interpreted very well :) i just thought i would point out the point of views cus it was kinda confusing :)
