Well I was 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 really happening at all   Although for a while, our path did seem to climb      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      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
