I watch as a she strolls to the fountain
Sits down and lowers her head
I know I should look away now
But I sit and stare instead
….. Then she starts to cry
….. I wonder why
….. As people pass her by

My thoughts begin to gather
What brought this wonder here?
Why is she trembling?
Why are her eyes full of tears?
….. Is she sad like me?
….. Should I go see?
….. Or just let her be?

And the fountain sings
It’s sad sad song
I know it well
About a love gone wrong
….. A heart needing mend
….. A lost friend
….. A journey’s end
Should I tell her I understand?

The water flows
Keeping a steady beat
Drops gently landing
On her tiny feet
…. She just sits and stares
…. No one cares
…. No one dares
Ask what’s bothering her

And the fountain sings
It’s sad sad song
I know it well
About a love gone wrong
….. A heart needing mend
….. A lost friend
….. A journey’s end
Should go tell her I understand

She gets up and leaves
I wonder why
I didn’t try
Tell her that I
Know exactly what she’s going through
