|Dm   |C    |Bb   |F    |


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

     Am               F
You were turning 'round to see who was behind you
   Am               C     C/Bb
And I took your childish laughter by surprise
      Bb/F               Dm
And at the moment that my camera happened to find you
     Gm       Bb       F
There was just a trace of sorrow in your eyes

    Dm       C       Bb       F
Now the things that I remember seem so distant and so small
     Dm      C        Bb       F
Though it hasn't really been that long a time
   Dm      C        Bb        F
What I was seeing wasn't what was happening at all
     Dm        C        Bb       F
Although for a while, our path did seem to climb

     Am               F
But when you see through love's illusions, there lies the danger
   Am               C     C/Bb
And your perfect lover just looks like a perfect fool
      Bb/F               Dm
So you go running off in search of a perfect stranger
     Gm       Bb
While the loneliness seems to spring from your life
    F    C/E   Dm  C/E Dm C
Like a fountain from a pool

Bb     F/C   A/C#    Dm  (C)
Fountain of sorrow, fountain of light
Bb        F/C     A/C#         Dm  (C)
You've known that hollow sound of your own steps in flight
Bb      F/C         A/C#      Dm
You've had to hide sometimes, but now you're all right
F
And it's good to see your smiling face tonight

|Bb F/A Bb/G |F  Bb/G  F/A |Bb F/A Bb/G |F    |

|Dm   |C    |Bb   |F    |


    Dm      C        Bb        F
Now for you and me it may not be that hard to reach our dreams
     Dm      C       Bb       F
But that magic feeling never seems to last
       Dm         C        Bb
And while the future's there for anyone to change, still you know it's
F
seems
      Dm     C          Bb   F
It would be easier sometimes to change the past


     Am                     F
I'm just one or two years and a couple of changes behind you
   Am                  C    C/Bb
In my lessons at love's pain and heartache school
       Bb/F                  Dm
Where if you feel too free and you need something to remind you
       Gm          Bb
There's this loneliness springing up from your life
    F    C/E   Dm  C/E Dm C
Like a fountain from a pool

Bb     F/C   A/C#    Dm  (C)
Fountain of sorrow, fountain of light
Bb        F/C     A/C#         Dm  (C)
You've known that hollow sound of your own steps in flight
Bb      F/C        A/C#      Dm
You've had to hide sometimes but now you're all right
F
And it's good to see your smiling face tonight

Fountain of sorrow, fountain of light
Bb        F/C     A/C#         Dm  (C)
You've known that hollow sound of your own steps in flight
Bb      F/C    A/C#     Dm  (C)
You've had to struggle, you've had to fight
Bb      F/C   A/C#       Dm  (C)
To keep understanding and compassion in sight
Bb      F/C      A/C#      Dm  (C)
You could be laughing at me, you've got the right
Bb      F/C   A/C#      Dm  (C)
But you go on smiling so clear and so bright

|Bb   |F/C   |A/C#   |Dm  (C)| rep & fade
