Lyrics
The Fountain
by Sarah Frank (SOCAN) and Alan Mackie (SOCAN)
the fountain is tall
like an old church hall pouring life from all sides the fairest of brides
the blast of a cannon
a fluther of phantoms
my ears are abused
but all I hear is music
all I hear is music
Lena, my love, we were all up all night dancing and then we went straight to church
Lena, I think you've been up all night fretting please don't be hurt
I know you're feeling kinda frail we've been running 'round restlessly the sky is clear and pale
hanging effortlessly
so come float along
lay your head and rest with me float to the fountain with me come float along
lay your head and rest with me float to the fountain with me
the faces around me are calm solemn but still
stern but serene
we rest in a pond
and the pond rests in between
Lena, my love, we were all up all night dancing and then we went straight to church
Lena, I think you've been up all night fretting please don't be hurt
I know you're feeling kinda frail we've been running 'round restlessly the sky is clear and pale
hanging effortlessly
so come float along
lay your head and rest with me float to the fountain with me come float along
lay your head and rest with me float to the fountain with me
