Fountain Of Sorrow Lyrics

[00:14.51] Looking through some photographs i found inside a drawer
[00:21.92] I was taken by a photograph of you
[00:28.73] There were one or two i know that you would have liked a little more
[00:36.29] But they didn't show your spirit quite as true
[00:43.48] You were turning 'round to see who was behind you
[00:50.57] And i took your childish laughter by surprise
[00:57.15] And at the moment that my camera happened to find you
[01:04.90] There was just a trace of sorrow in your eyes
[01:12.53] Now the things that i remember seem so distant and so small
[01:19.74] Though it hasn't really been that long a time
[01:26.66] What i was seeing wasn't really happening at all
[01:34.09] Although for a while, our path did seem to climb
[01:40.98] But when you see through love's illusions, there lies the danger
[01:48.30] And your perfect lover just looks like a perfect fool
[01:55.19] So you go running off in search of a perfect stranger
[02:02.76] While the loneliness seems to spring from your life
[02:05.94] Like a fountain from a pool
[02:12.79] Fountain of sorrow, fountain of light
[02:15.09] You've known that hollow sound of your own steps in flight
[02:25.63] You've had to hide sometimes, but now you're all right
[02:31.90] And it's good to see your smiling face tonight
[02:57.16] Now for you and me it may not be that hard to reach our dreams
[03:04.09] But that magic feeling never seems to last
[03:11.17] And while the future's there for anyone to change, still you know it's seems
[03:18.39] It would be easier sometimes to change the past
[03:25.54] I'm just one or two years and a couple of changes behind you
[03:32.60] In my lessons at love's pain and heartache school
[03:39.11] Where if you feel too free and you need something to remind you
[03:46.79] There's this loneliness springing up from your life
[03:49.81] Like a fountain from a pool
[03:55.52] Fountain of sorrow, fountain of light
[04:02.60] You've known that hollow sound of your own steps in flight
[04:09.83] You've had to hide sometimes but now you're all right
[04:15.95] And it's good to see your smiling face tonight
[04:23.50] Fountain of sorrow, fountain of light
[04:24.82] You've known that hollow sound of your own steps in flight
[04:25.62] You've had to struggle, you've had to fight
[04:26.36] To keep understanding and compassion in sight
[04:27.12] You could be laughing at me, you've got the right
[04:27.96] But you go on smiling so clear and so bright
[04:28.20]
