we sat together in the park as the evening sky grew dark, i felt a spark tingle to the bone, it was then i felt alone and wished that id gone straight and forget about the simple twist of fate. 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 didnt 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 hasnt really been that long a time What I was seeing wasnt what was happening at all Although for a while, our path did seem to climb But when you see through loves 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 poolFountain of sorrow, fountain of light Youve known that hollow sound of your own steps in flight Youve had to hide sometimes, but now youre all right And its good to see your smiling face tonightNow 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 futures there for anyone to change, still you know its seems It would be easier sometimes to change the past Im just one or two years and a couple of changes behind you In my lessons at loves pain and heartache school Where if you feel too free and you need something to remind you Theres this loneliness springing up from your life Like a fountain from a poolTo keep understanding and compassion in sight You could be laughing at me, youve got the right But you go on smiling so clear and so bright
