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
