Chris Cornell - Through The Window lyrics

Clouds that gathered turn to rain A candle on your sill burned out Weather on your face Timed to match the mood outside Reading the poems that you saved That made the gloomy hours make sense But do they lose their power With the airing of age? I saw you suffering Through a foggy window in the rain When you thought no one was watching, yeah Going through your memories Like so many prisons to escape And become someone else With another face And another name No more suffering You sold the best of yourself out On a chain of gray and white light One syllable at a time You should have made them pay a higher price I saw you suffering Through a cracked and dirty window pane I was ashamed that I was watching, yeah Going through your imagination Looking for a life you could create And become somebody else With another face, yeah And another name No more suffering I wish that I could find a seed And plant a tree that grows so high So that I could climb And harvest the ripe stars For you and I to drink in Spit the ashes from our mouths And put the gray back in the clouds And send them packing with our bags Of old regrets and sorrows 'Cause they don't do a thing But drag us down So far down The past is like a braided road Each moment tightly coiled inside I saw you suffering Through the yellow window of a train With everybody watching, yeah Too tired for imagining That you could ever love somebody else From somewhere far away From another time, yeah And another place With another life With another face And another name And another name No more suffering
