Lyrics
Fountain of Love
Pilgrim's progress
hard to see
down on the road
on his hands and knees
he trips towards heaven
so far from home
he follow that legend
he keeps moving on
Sweet mary all night
sleepy jane all day
take him in
and you'll be glad
when he's gone his way
Through the holy lands
he do all the shrines
plucking up his heart to feel it
one more time
he?s singing
Fountain of love
please fill my cup
when I'm dry and dreamless
Lord it's you that fills me up
Pilgrim?s progress
hard to tell
riding back
on the highway from hell
still he looks as shaggy
as he always do
but there?s a lightness
to his pointed shoes
he?s singing
Foutain of Love
come fill my cup
when I'm lame and legless
it's you that lift me up
Here he comes again
to save the day
He's gonna rock
your silver soul
and then be on his way
Fountain of Love
Shine from above
Fountain of Love
He's on the road again
