mydilove: fountain of light: jackson browne listen
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 the moment that my camera happened to find you
There was just a trace of sorrow in your eyes
The things that I remember seem so distant and so small
Though it hasn't been that long a time
What I was seeing wasn't what was happening at all
Although for a while our paths did seem to climb
When you see through love's illusions there lies the danger
And your perfect lover 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 the magic feeling never seems to last and while the future's there for anyone to change
Still you know it 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 pain and heartache
School where if you feel too free and you need something to remind you
There's this loneliness springing up from you 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
To keep understanding and compassion in sight
You could be laughing at me you've got the right but you go on smiling so clear and bright
