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
