Through The Window Lyrics - Higher Truth - Chris Cornell

The clouds that gathered turned to rain 

The candles on your sill burned out 

The weather on your face 

Turned to match the mood outside 

Reading through poems that you saved 

That make the gloomy hours make sense 

Or do they lose their power 

With the yellowing 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

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

You sold the best of yourself out 

On a chain of grey and white lies 

One syllable at a time 

You should have made them pay 

A higher price 

I saw you suffering 

Through the 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, yeah 

With another face 

With another name 

No more suffering 

Photos 

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 

And spit the ashes from our mouths 

And put the grey 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 rope 

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 

And another place 

With another life 

And another face 

And another name 

And another name 

No more suffering.
