1
Looking through some photographs I found inside a drawer
2
I was taken by a photograph of you
3
There were one or two I know that you would have liked a little more
4
But they didn't show your spirit quite as true
5
You were turning 'round to see who was behind you
6
And I took your childish laughter by surprise
7
And at the moment that my camera happened to find you
8
There was just a trace of sorrow in your eyes
9
Now the things that I remember seem so distant and so small
10
Though it hasn't really been that long a time
11
What I was seeing wasn't really happening at all
12
Although for a while, our path did seem to climb
13
But when you see through love's illusions, there lies the danger
14
And your perfect lover just looks like a perfect fool
15
So you go running off in search of a perfect stranger
16
While the loneliness seems to spring from your life
17
Like a fountain from a pool
18
Fountain of sorrow, fountain of light
19
You've known that hollow sound of your own steps in flight
20
You've had to hide sometimes, but now you're all right
21
And it's good to see your smiling face tonight
22
Now for you and me it may not be that hard to reach our dreams
23
But that magic feeling never seems to last
24
And while the future's there for anyone to change, still you know it's seems
25
It would be easier sometimes to change the past
26
I'm just one or two years and a couple of changes behind you
27
In my lessons at love's pain and heartache school
28
Where if you feel too free and you need something to remind you
29
There's this loneliness springing up from your life
30
Like a fountain from a pool
31
Fountain of sorrow, fountain of light
32
You've known that hollow sound of your own steps in flight
33
You've had to hide sometimes but now you're all right
34
And it's good to see your smiling face tonight
35
Fountain of sorrow, fountain of light
36
You've known that hollow sound of your own steps in flight
37
You've had to struggle, you've had to fight
38
To keep understanding and compassion in sight
39
You could be laughing at me, you've got the right
40
But you go on smiling so clear and so bright
