I went looking for a winter
Meant to match my splintered heart
But all the world was hot as passion
Fashionably fevered art
I came drunk and wildly reeling
Blaming no one feeling pain
But all the world had caught me staring
Wearing my own private rain
Chorus:
Windows of the past
Shadows of tommorow
Sorrows never last
Shallow ears may borrow
All the pain you share
Call the rain your fare
For the taxi to a paradise
You might believe in once or twice
In hopes of meeting someone nice
Who’s never really there
I tried looking for a lover
Hiding my scar-covered soul
But all the world was watching cruelly
Duly noting each dead coal
I stood waiting to be wanted
Should I show undaunted pride?
But all the world had found me empty
Tempting me to turn and hide
Chorus instrumental Chorus
