World of Pain Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Outside my window is a tree
Outside my window is a tree
There only for me

[Chorus]
And it stands in the grey of the city
No time for pity
For the tree or me
There is a world of pain
In the falling rain
Around me

[Verse 2]
Is there a reason for today?
Is there a reason for today?
Do you remember?

[Chorus]
I can hear all the cries of the city
No time for pity
For a growing tree
There is a world of pain
In the falling rain
Around me

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
Outside my window is a tree
Outside my window is a tree
There only for me

[Chorus]
And it stands in the grey of the city
No time for pity
For the tree or me
There is a world of pain
In the falling rain
Around me

Third song off of Cream’s 1967 sophomore album, “Disraeli Gears.” Written by Felix Pappalardi and Gail Collins, and With lead vocals by Jack Bruce and supporting vocals by Eric Clapton. The song deals with the emotions of solitude and loneliness that would be felt in a “World of Pain.” Those feelings are so bad to the point that the singer questions the point of existing. (Is there a reason, for today? Do you remember?)
