Fountain Of Sorrow |
|
|
|
Looking through some photographs i found inside a drawer |
|
I was taken by a photograph of you |
|
There were one or two i know that you would have liked a little more |
|
But they didn't show your spirit quite as true |
|
|
|
You were turning 'round to see who was behind you |
|
And i took your childish laughter by surprise |
|
And at the moment that my camera happened to find you |
|
There was just a trace of sorrow in your eyes |
|
|
|
Now the things that i remember seem so distant and so small |
|
Though it hasn't really been that long a time |
|
What i was seeing wasn't what was happening at all |
|
Although for a while, our path did seem to climb |
|
But when you see through love's illusions, there lies the danger |
|
And your perfect lover just looks like a perfect fool |
|
So you go running off in search of a perfect stranger |
|
While the loneliness seems to spring from your life |
|
Like a fountain from a pool |
|
|
|
Fountain of sorrow, fountain of light |
|
You've known that hollow sound of your own steps in flight |
|
You've had to hide sometimes, but now you're all right |
|
And it's good to see your smiling face tonight |
|
|
|
|
|
Now for you and me it may not be that hard to reach our dreams |
|
But that magic feeling never seems to last |
|
And while the future's there for anyone to change, still you know it's seems |
|
It would be easier sometimes to change the past |
|
I'm just one or two years and a couple of changes behind you |
|
In my lessons at love's pain and heartache school |
|
Where if you feel too free and you need something to remind you |
|
There's this loneliness springing up from your life |
|
Like a fountain from a pool |
|
|
|
Fountain of sorrow, fountain of light |
|
You've known that hollow sound of your own steps in flight |
|
|
|
You've had to hide sometimes but now you're all right |
|
And it's good to see your smiling face tonight |
|
|
|
Fountain of sorrow, fountain of light |
|
You've known that hollow sound of your own steps in flight |
|
You've had to struggle, you've had to fight |
|
To keep understanding and compassion in sight |
|
You could be laughing at me, you've got the right |
|
But you go on smiling so clear and so bright |
