Intro     C5     G5     E5      D5      C5       G5    
 
E5                   D5   D5        C5              G5     
Looking through some photographs I found inside a drawer 
      E5         D5   D5        C5    G5   
I was taken by a photograph of you 
           E5           D5   D5                   C5                G5   
There were one or two I know that you would have liked a little more 
         E5               D5   D5            C5    G5    
But they didn?t show your spirit quite as true 
         B5                            G5           C5  G5   
You were turning ?round to see who was behind you 
      B5                                D5     D5   
And I took your childish laughter by surprise 
B5        C5            C5      D5           E5     
And at the moment that my camera happened to find you 
          A5                   C5        G5     C5  G5    
There was just a trace of sorrow in your eyes 
 

        E5            D5     D5         C5              G5      
Now the things that I remember seem so distant and so small 
          E5            D5     D5         C5     G5    
Though it hasn?t really been that long a time 
     E5           D5     D5          C5           G5    
What I was seeing wasn?t what was happening at all 
         E5               D5    D5          C5     G5   
Although for a while, our path did seem to climb 
             B5                                           G5      C5  G5   
But when you see through love?s illusions, there lies the danger 
      B5                                         D5   D5   
And your perfect lover just looks like a perfect fool 
B5        C5            C5          D5        E5    
So you go running off in search of a perfect stranger 
          A5                  C5      
While the loneliness seems to spring from your life 
       G5                 D5            
Like a fountain from a pool 
 

C5           G5    D#5         E5   D5    
Fountain of sorrow, fountain of light 
C5                 G5         D#5                   E5     D5   
You?ve known that hollow sound of your own steps in flight 
C5             G5                 D#5             E5     D5   
You?ve had to hide sometimes, but now you?re all right 
         G5                C5                 C5  G5  A5  
And it?s good to see your smiling face tonight 
 

G5  A5  G5  C5  G5  A5  G5 
 
        E5            D5     D5        C5                 G5      
Now for you and me it may not be that hard to reach our dreams 
         E5            D5     D5       C5      G5  
But that magic feeling never seems to last 
              E5                 D5     D5          C5                   G5   
And while the future?s there for anyone to change, still you know it?s seems 
            E5         D5     D5            C5        G5  
It would be easier sometimes to change the past 
         B5                                       G5           C5  G5   
I?m just one or two years and a couple of changes behind you 
      B5                                   D5      D5   
In my lessons at love?s pain and heartache school 
B5          C5                   C5        D5            E5   
Where if you feel too free and you need something to remind you 
             A5                   C5                     
There?s this loneliness springing up from your life 
       G5               D5  
Like a fountain from a pool 
 

C5           G5    D#5         E5   D5    
Fountain of sorrow, fountain of light 
C5                 G5         D#5                   E5     D5   
You?ve known that hollow sound of your own steps in flight 
C5             G5                 D#5             E5     D5   
You?ve had to hide sometimes but now you?re all right 
         G5                C5                 C5  G5  A5  
And it?s good to see your smiling face tonight  
 

G5  A5  G5  D5  D5 
 
C5           G5    D#5         E5   D5       
Fountain of sorrow, fountain of light 
C5                 G5         D#5                  E5     D5    
You?ve known that hollow sound of your own steps in flight 
C5             G5      D#5           E5       D5    
You?ve had to struggle, you?ve had to fight 
C5            G5         D#5            E5     D5    
To keep understanding and compassion in sight 
C5            G5            D#5            E5    D5     
You could be laughing at me, you?ve got the right 
C5             G5    D#5             E5     D5  
But you go on smiling so clear and so bright
