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
