A Fountain

Cross the clearing, devout, near the river I've known
Lives abidingly there all that's left undone
In the darkness of May I will leave with no one
There was a fountain that I was never to drink from

No longer desired, been feeling the silence for years
All I had wanted and all I could think of was here

In the evening, I ride through the fields unkind
Every favorable thought will be cursed and fall
Though the days were named mine, I had given them all
Surely I knew in the end, it only would be gone

No longer desired, been feeling the silence for years
And all I had wanted and all I could think of was here

What possessed me and held me before
Are as nothing, a new love is born

And we walked 'long the road, bright and fed
Past the guards who were drunk off their heads
Keeping watch in the distance for thieves
Who will take 'cause the blind man can't see
In the morning, the church bell he hears
Has no meaning, but wished that it did
Full of longing but doesn't know why
With the loneliest years behind me, the world is right
