Fountain of Sorrow Indigo Girls

[Verse 1]
Looking through some photographs I found inside a drawer
I was taken by a photograph of you
Now 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 around 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

[Verse 2]
Now the things that I remember seem so distant and so small
But it hasn't really been that long a time
Yeah, what I was seeing wasn't what was happening at all
Although for a while our path did seem to climb
When you see through love's 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 pool

[Chorus]
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 alright
And it's good to see your smiling face tonight
