While I was looking through some photographs I found inside your drawerI was taken by a photograph of youThere were one or two I know that you would have liked a little moreBut they didn't show your spirit quite as trueYou were turning around to see who was behind youAnd I took your childish laughter by surpriseAnd at the moment that my camera happened to find youThere was just a trace of sorrow in your eyesNow the things that I remember seem so distant and so smallThough it hasn't really been that long a timeWhat I was seeing wasn't really happening at allAlthough for a while our paths did seem to climbWhen you see through love's illusions there lies the dangerAnd your perfect lover just looks like a perfect foolSo you go running off in search of a perfect strangerWhile the loneliness seems to spring from your life like a fountain from a poolFountain of sorrow, fountain of lifeYou've known the hollow sounds of your own steps in flightYou've had to hide sometimes but now you're alrightAnd it's good to see your smiling face tonightNow for you and me it may not be that hard to reach our dreamsBut that magic feeling never seems to lastAnd while the future's there for anyone to changeStill you know it seems it would be easier sometimes to change the pastI'm just one or two years and a couple of changes behind youAnd my lessons at love's pain and heartache schoolWhere if you feel too free and you need something to remind youThere's this loneliness springing up from your life like a fountain from a poolFountain of sorrow, fountain of lifeYou've known the hollow sounds of your own steps in flightYou've had to hide sometimes but now you're alrightAnd it's good to see your smiling face tonight
