Intro

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

Solo

 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

Piano interlude:

( )

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
