Fountain of Sorrow

Jackson Browne

Transposer:

Intro                                       Looking through some photographs I found inside a drawer I was taken by a photograph of you   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 ?round 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      Now the things that I remember seem so distant and so small Though it hasn?t really been that long a time   What I was seeing wasn?t what was happening at all Although for a while our path did seem to climb But 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 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 all right     And it?s good to see your smiling face tonight                                    Now for you and me it may not be that hard to reach our dreams But that magic feeling never seems to last    And while the future?s there for anyone to change still you know it?s seems It would be easier sometimes to change the past      I?m just one or two years and a couple of changes behind you      In my lessons at love?s pain and heartache school Where if you feel too free and you need something to remind you There?s this loneliness springing up from your life Like a fountain from a pool 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 all right      And it?s good to see your smiling face tonight                           Fountain of sorrow fountain of light You?ve known that hollow sound of your own steps in flight You?ve had to struggle you?ve had to fight     To keep understanding and compassion in sight    You could be laughing at me you?ve got the right But you go on smiling so clear and so bright

La chanson évoque la nostalgie et la mélancolie à travers le souvenir de moments capturés dans des photographies. L'artiste se remémore des instants de joie, marqués par un sourire, mais aussi teintés d'une tristesse sous-jacente. Il exprime la lutte entre les illusions de l'amour et la réalité, où la recherche de l’évasion et de compréhension semble souvent mener à la solitude, illustrée par cette métaphore de fontaine. Dans ce contexte, il est question d’une quête personnelle, où chacun fait face à ses propres douleurs et défis tout en essayant de trouver un équilibre entre la joie et la peine. Les souvenirs, bien qu'ils paraissent lointains, rappellent que parfois, il est nécessaire de traverser l'obscurité pour apprécier la lumière.
