about

Jackson Browne in his masterful song Fountain of Sorrow has this to say:

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

The song was written in Pollock Halls of Residence where my room used to look onto Arthur's Seat

lyrics

THE TIME HAS COME

The time has come for me to look into your eyes
Beyond our kiss, our smile, beyond our soft disguise
The time has come
It had to be, we didn't see this love would drain so fast
How could I know, how could I grow
Inside your mind
Please let me know

The time has come for me to look beyond my dreams
Beyond these simple ways beyond my senseless schemes
The time has come
My frozen mind refused to find
The truth before today
My frosted eyes, blind to the lies
Along the circled path
On which I lay

It's one and two
It's me and you
Coffee in a room
Three and four
We're out the door
Looking for the moon
Five and six
Lots of tricks
Seven, eight, nine,
Ten, eleven, twelve now babe
We're running out of time
On the telephone
In different time zones

The time has come for me to look beyond my life
Beyond this palled routine
Beyond death's hovering knife
The time has come
Stagnating days
Too any ways
To grope in doubt's dark cage
I want to see how it will be
Before my mind decays to bitter age

The time has come for me to see beyond my sight
To feel beyond my touch
To move from dark to light
The time has come
I need to give
I need to live
Beyond the same sad song
I want to move
I want to prove
There's more than man's weak mind
To make me strong
