I Was a Fountain Lyrics

I was a fountain

You found her at my feet

While I was still gushing one big foolish flood

Right out of me

With nobody there to see

Me and the pigeons just kicking up the dust

Cradle your absence and one lonely shoe nobody needs

I know just how she feels

Although now I run on empty

Still carry my heart upon my sleeve

But I'll never be your go-between

Just suck it up

Then spit them all out

Like all men I've found

This life has its way of letting you down

Following the flooding they cut off my supply

Draped in white netting

I'm married to my redundancy

Just me and the memories

Flat on their belly

The dogs can't take the heat

They used dive in

Go splashing around then shake it off down the street

At least someone misses me

Although now I run on empty

Still carry my heart upon my sleeve

But I'll never be your middleman

Just suck it up

Then spit them all out

So sick of this crowd

This life has it's way of letting you down

Letting you down

I was a fountain

You found her at my feet

While I was still gushing one big foolish flood

Right out of me

With nobody there to see
