Fountain of Sorrow

Fountain of sorrow, fountain of light
And at the moment that my camera happened to find you

There lies the danger
That you would have liked a little more
Where if you feel too free and you need something to remind you

And a couple of changes behind you
I was taken by a photograph of you

To reach our dreams

And while the future's there for anyone to change
While the loneliness seems to spring from your life
You could be laughing at me

And it's good to see your smiling face tonight

There was just a trace of sorrow in your eyes
What I was seeing wasn't

But that magic feeling never seems to last
But you go on smiling
Like a fountain from a pool
And I took your childish laughter by surprise
I'm just one or two years

And it's good to see your smiling face tonight

Seem so distant and so small
You've known that hollow sound of your own steps in flight
To keep understanding and compassion in sight
You've had to struggle, you've had to fight
Fountain of sorrow, fountain of light
Although for a while our path did seem to climb
But they didn't show your spirit quite as true
You were turning 'round to see who was behind you
Still you know it's seems
In my lessons at love's pain and heartache school

You've got the right

You've known that hollow sound of your own steps in flight
But when you see through love's illusions

It would be easier sometimes to change the past
Though it hasn't really been that long a time

Now for you and me it may not be that hard
You've had to hide sometimes but now you're all right
There's this loneliness springing up from your life
There were one or two I know
Like a fountain from a pool
Fountain of sorrow, fountain of light
Now the things that I remember
You've known that hollow sound of your own steps in flight
You've had to hide sometimes, but now you're all right
What was happening at all
And your perfect lover just looks like a perfect fool

So you go running off in search of a perfect stranger
