Damon Albarn The Nearer the Fountain More Pure the Stream Flows Lyrics
You are gone
The dark journey that leaves no returning
It’s fruitless for me to mourn you
But who can help mourning?
To think of life that did laugh on your face
In the beautiful past left so desolate now
When youth seemed immortal
So sweet it did weave Heaven’s halo around you
Earth’s hope to deceive
You were the fairest and dearest
Where many were fair
To my heart you were nearest
The year has its winter
As well as it’s May
The sweetest leave us
And the fairest decay
The nearer the fountain, more pure the stream flows
To think of life that did laugh on your face
In the beautiful past left so desolate now
When youth seemed immortal
So sweet it did weave Heaven’s halo around you
Around you
Earth hopes to deceive
Around you
Around you
The nearer the fountain, more pure the stream flows
