"19g2248p721819ngg19g

"19g2248p721819ngg19g

"19g2248p721819ngg19g

"19g2248p721819ngg19g
Looking through some photographs I found inside a drawer
"19g2248p721819ngg19g
I was taken by a photograph of you
"19g2248p721819ngg19g
There were one or two I know that you would have liked a little more
"19g2248p721819ngg19g
But they didn't show your spirit quite as true
"19g2248p721819ngg19g

"19g2248p721819ngg19g
You were turning 'round to see who was behind you
"19g2248p721819ngg19g
And I took your childish laughter by surprise
"19g2248p721819ngg19g
And at the moment that my camera happened to find you
"19g2248p721819ngg19g
There was just a trace of sorrow in your eyes
"19g2248p721819ngg19g

"19g2248p721819ngg19g
Now the things that I remember seem so distant and so small
"19g2248p721819ngg19g
Though it hasn't really been that long a time
"19g2248p721819ngg19g
What I was seeing wasn't what was happening at all
"19g2248p721819ngg19g
Although for a while, our path did seem to climb
"19g2248p721819ngg19g
But when you see through love's illusions, there lies the danger
"19g2248p721819ngg19g
And your perfect lover just looks like a perfect fool
"19g2248p721819ngg19g
So you go running off in search of a perfect stranger
"19g2248p721819ngg19g
While the loneliness seems to spring from your life
"19g2248p721819ngg19g
Like a fountain from a pool
"19g2248p721819ngg19g

"19g2248p721819ngg19g
Fountain of sorrow, fountain of light
"19g2248p721819ngg19g
You've known that hollow sound of your own steps in flight
"19g2248p721819ngg19g
You've had to hide sometimes, but now you're all right
"19g2248p721819ngg19g
And it's good to see your smiling face tonight
"19g2248p721819ngg19g

"19g2248p721819ngg19g
Now for you and me it may not be that hard to reach our dreams
"19g2248p721819ngg19g
But that magic feeling never seems to last
"19g2248p721819ngg19g
And while the future's there for anyone to change, still you know it's seems
"19g2248p721819ngg19g
It would be easier sometimes to change the past
"19g2248p721819ngg19g
I'm just one or two years and a couple of changes behind you
"19g2248p721819ngg19g
In my lessons at love's pain and heartache school
"19g2248p721819ngg19g
Where if you feel too free and you need something to remind you
"19g2248p721819ngg19g
There's this loneliness springing up from your life
"19g2248p721819ngg19g
Like a fountain from a pool
"19g2248p721819ngg19g

"19g2248p721819ngg19g
Fountain of sorrow, fountain of light
"19g2248p721819ngg19g
You've known that hollow sound of your own steps in flight
"19g2248p721819ngg19g

"19g2248p721819ngg19g
You've had to hide sometimes but now you're all right
"19g2248p721819ngg19g
And it's good to see your smiling face tonight
"19g2248p721819ngg19g

"19g2248p721819ngg19g
Fountain of sorrow, fountain of light
"19g2248p721819ngg19g
You've known that hollow sound of your own steps in flight
"19g2248p721819ngg19g
You've had to struggle, you've had to fight
"19g2248p721819ngg19g
To keep understanding and compassion in sight
"19g2248p721819ngg19g
You could be laughing at me, you've got the right
"19g2248p721819ngg19g
But you go on smiling so clear and so bright
"19g2248p721819ngg19g
