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
