Lyrics

[00:16.28] Looking through some photographs I found inside a drawer
[00:23.34] I was taken by a photograph of you
[00:30.84] There were one or two I know that you would have liked a little more
[00:38.34] But they didn't show your spirit quite as true
[00:46.15] You were turning 'round to see who was behind you
[00:53.57] And I took your childish laughter by surprise
[01:00.24] And at the moment that my camera happened to find you
[01:09.06] There was just a trace of sorrow in your eyes
[01:14.31]
[01:16.76] Now the things that I remember seem so distant and so small
[01:24.15] Though it hasn't really been that long a time
[01:32.21] What I was seeing wasn't what was happening at all
[01:39.39] Although for a while our path did seem to climb
[01:47.14] When you see through love's illusions, there lies the danger
[01:54.50] And your perfect lover just looks like a perfect fool
[02:01.73] So you go running off in search of a perfect stranger
[02:09.98] While the loneliness seems to spring from your life
[02:13.99] Like a fountain from a pool
[02:17.18]
[02:19.20] Fountain of sorrow, fountain of light
[02:26.29] You've known that hollow sound of your own steps in flight
[02:33.57] You've had to hide sometimes, but now you're all right
[02:40.25] And it's good to see your smiling face tonight
[02:45.68]
[03:22.93] Now for you and me it may not be that hard to reach our dreams
[03:30.24] But that magic feeling never seems to last
[03:37.85] And all the future's there for anyone to change, still you know it seems
[03:45.40] It would be easier sometimes to change the past
[03:53.27] I'm just one or two years and a couple of changes behind you
[04:00.64] In my lessons at love's pain and heartache school
[04:07.90] Where if you feel too free and you need something to remind you
[04:16.03] There's this loneliness springing up from your life
[04:20.03] Like a fountain from a pool
[04:23.28]
[04:25.20] Fountain of sorrow, fountain of light
[04:32.51] You've known that hollow sound of your own steps in flight
[04:40.08] You've had to hide sometimes but now you're all right
[04:46.76] And it's good to see your smiling face tonight
[04:51.49]
[05:32.47] Fountain of sorrow, fountain of light
[05:39.75] You've known that hollow sound of your own steps in flight
[05:47.59] You've had to struggle, you've had to fight
[05:54.45] To keep understanding and compassion in sight
[06:03.22] You could be laughing at me, you've got the right
[06:10.79] But you go on smiling so clear and so bright
[06:20.95]
