The Virgin's Fountain

Smoking his daily treat
Gazing into the horizon
At a life that once made sense
Lost in noisy silence

By the fountain in the square
Where they used to have their coffee
Her elegant walk, their love affair
Just a distant dream

Water drops from the virgin's fountain
Tears that can't be cried
Memories behind stone walls
Keep the pain alive

Now that she's gone
Life is an empty stage
He plays the role of the good man
Wearing a brave face

By the fountain in the square
Ready to leave his reverie
Just one step, gets hard to breathe
But it has to be

Water drops from the virgin's fountain
Tears that can't be cried
Memories behind stone walls
Keep the pain alive

Getting into the car with his grandson and lonely wife
Driving back to comfort and leaving love behind

Water drops from the virgin's fountain
Tears that can't be cried
Memories behind stone walls
Keep the pain alive

Water drops from the virgin's fountain
Tears that can't be cried
Memories behind stone walls
Keep the pain alive
